About Dan

My life’s ambition is to create and help others create.

I create because I have to—because the world is too strange, too haunted, too beautiful to leave unexamined. From an early age, I felt the pull of the arts like a moth to a flame, leading me through the realms of drawing, painting, photography, filmmaking, design and everything in between. My favorite work exists in a liminal space: light bleeding into shadow, surreal creeping into the ordinary, beauty mixed with something just a little off.

With over 20 years in the creative industries, I’ve shaped visuals for brands like Hanes and Chick-fil-A, but my true fascination lies with the outliers—the artists, musicians, and square pegs who are unabashedly and authentically themselves. Whether crafting dreamlike portraits, conjuring cinematic visuals, or designing something that feels like it slipped through a crack in reality, I make work that doesn’t just look good but feels like something—something raw, electric, maybe even sometimes even a little cursed.

I believe in making art with intention, respect and kindness. If you’re drawn to the strange, the uncanny, the beautifully unhinged—let’s make something weird together.
