David Setter

David Setter is an artist based near Hawarden and has been joining us at Good Life Society events for many years. You might know him by his Doodle Planet name.

David has worked as an illustrator, painter, mural artist and metal worker since graduating from Glyndŵr University in 2004. His work is diverse, it’s evolved on the road of an organic journey. Soon after graduating, David started creating images for the Health & Safety Industry. Tapping into his own experience in engineering and welding, he understood high risk industry and therefore was able to create congruent visuals that played a part in keeping others safe. David’s adaptable, playful style of drawing and painting has been applied to many different outlets over the years. Giant mascots for the Olympic Games have been hand painted, sculptures for the National Trust have been designed and engineered, restaurants and bars have been adorned with his murals. Even vehicles have been drawn all over!

The last ten years have seen David move more towards helping others by sharing his knowledge of solving a visual challenge. David has worked closely with both adults and children from all walks of life through organisations such as the NHS, social services, MIND, CAHMS and the Children’s Commissioner of Wales.

Designing hospital wards, building self esteem and investing his creativity in people who benefit from creative encouragement.

David Setter will join us at our Summer Camp Family Weekend 2025!
