The Artist: Daniel Danger
Daniel Danger is a highly acclaimed illustrator and print-maker whose artistic journey has taken root amidst the serene woods of Massachusetts. His unique creative perspective is deeply rooted in his familial heritage, with a middle school art teacher as a mother and a skilled potter as a father. It's safe to say that a career in accounting was never on the horizon for him.
Danger's own description of his work often dances on the edge of the surreal, weaving intricate narratives that involve overlapping timelines, nods to Sierra point-and-click adventure games, enigmatic number stations hidden in desert landscapes, whispered conversations carried by the wind, and the evocative idea of ghosts meeting their end at the hands of nature's foliage. His creations give life to enigmatic trauma shadow beings born from the haunting stories of kidnapped children, beings that drip with the darkness of wolf shadows. This fascination with the mysterious and the supernatural finds its roots in his love for 1920s children's books.
