David Rodriguez aka Dr Gorilla
The Dr Gorilla name comes from a collaboration I had with another artist whose handle was Gorilla. I always signed my work "Dr" for David Rodriguez. As a collaborative project, we decided to create a character by the name of Dr Gorilla. My friend eventually left the project and gave me the right to continue utilizing the name. For me, Dr Gorilla is a reminder of the collaborative work I created and continue to create with many speakers, entertainers, thought leaders, and artists.
