David Eugene Dees (July 9, 1957 – May 31, 2020)[1] was an American commercial artist and graphic designer, known for his digital art depicting conspiracy theories.
Prominent themes in his artwork include chemtrails, anti-vaccine activism, climate change denial, Holocaust denial, as well as the promotion of GMO conspiracy theories, 9/11 conspiracy theories, conspiracy theories regarding the danger of wireless devices, and the Zionist Occupation Government conspiracy theory.[2]
David Dees was the subject of the short documentary Do You See What I See?[3]
Dees was an illustrator for Sesame Street Magazine.[4]
In 2017, the inclusion of one of Dees's illustrations in a German political textbook caused a controversy. The image, which depicted a Pac-Man-like character devouring Europe over the phrase "Rothschild bank", was widely described as anti-Semitic. The publisher of the textbook said that inclusion of the image was a "regrettable mistake" and halted printing. They also issued a replacement page for books that were already in circulation and promised to remove the image in the next edition.[5] [6]
