Dave Konig

Dave Konig is an artist, an actor, a 3 time Emmy award winning comedian, and a novelist. A lifelong New Yorker, Konig has spent his entire life riding the New York City subways and won his 3 New York Emmys co-hosting the local comedy show ‘Subway Q & A’, featuring his manunder-the-street Konig Underground segments. As an actor, Konig has guest starred on numerous quintessentially New York shows such as The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Blacklist, Crashing, Blue Bloods, and many more. His first novel, Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky, a dark comedy set in the gritty world of 1980’s New York City, was called “required reading” by the NY Post.

Konig captures New Yorkers on the subways in fast, detailed pen & ink drawings - and off the subways in slow, detailed oil paintings.

“I have always thought everyone in the country should come and live in New York and ride the subways for one month. It would go a long way to eliminating the fear of the unknown that fuels so much division. Intolerance is a lot harder to pull off when people of every background are shoulder to shoulder everyday. When you draw people on the subway you have to work fast, so it forces you to try and capture the essence of their humanity, and hopefully connect with what we all share rather than focusing on our differences.”
