About the Artist

Improperly known as Danny, I grew up in the north Bay Area in California where my family has lived for generations. I have been making art for almost three decades. As a child, I enjoyed making newspapers, magazines, comics, and cartoon characters with nothing but a pencil, paper, and marker pens. Now as an adult, I can confidently tell my younger self that I still enjoy making art and have started developing a career of it, with less marker pens.

​

Born with Bay Area blood and raised with Southern hospitality, I proudly have the best of both worlds. My upbringing taught me to be warm and welcoming to others, to be kind and caring, to be empathetic and open-minded, no matter how different they are to me. Everyone has their problems, gripes, issues, flaws, and weaknesses. I strive to be someone with an open door and open arms.

Inspiration

I've learned to find the beauty of art in everything I see and experience. There is art in the sky, from the shapes of clouds to the constellations of stars. Art is in a smile, uniquely crooked and creased based on the wearer's life. There is art in science, mathematics, and technology. Art is in the markings on the shell of a beetle and wings of a butterfly.

 

Art has been a huge part of my life in every genre of the subject. I have spent many years finding art in everything and everyone, and I want to be able to spread that beauty among others.
