About Cdavid

I've been based in the Pacific Northwest US since 2005. Prior to this I had a wonderful, 18 year stint as a Props Designer, Art Director & crew member for Theatre, TV Commercials, & Feature Films in Philly, PA. I bring to the table 30 years in the entertainment biz & 27 years as a Property Master/Art Director. Central to all my creative endeavors is the goal of enhancing storytelling by finding & creating the most magical of objects.

I am a proud member in absentia of the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers (https://dumpsterdivers.org). This found object artist collective has recently celebrated 25 years of reusing society's daily discards to make art with our 25th Anniversary show "DUMPSTER DIVERSions," October-November 2017.

I am the Business Agent-Elect of IATSE Local 488, Studio Mechanics of the Pacific Northwest, and will assume these duties in mid-January 2019. I have been a member of the Executive Board for the Local since 2010 and was elected Vice President in 2016. I instigated a training program for our members which I now coordinate for the Local.

I have a Props rental business & collection of Ephemera (posters, prints, paintings, photographs. photogravures, maps & atlases, & more) which spans from the 1800's to modern day. There are hundreds of original items (as well as scans) for rent or sale. Feel free to contact me for current stock availability.

In an attempt not to be found on the TV show hoarders, I have my business 9 Miles of Ephemera & Antiques as my purge mechanism. My shop can be found at 9 Miles of Wonder on .
I also blog about ephemera and antiques at

When not Propping a show you will find me hanging out with my beautiful wife Colette.
