From a quiet, creative childhood to the world stage of comics and novels.

Unable to experience early life like others, Dan was encouraged by his parents to draw, read and explore his imagination.

A career followed not through a fixed plan, but through opportunity and instinct -leading to work with some of the biggest names in comics.

And still, the process is rooted in the same place: observing closely, capturing ideas through photography and letting stories emerge over time.
