Thanks for visiting the one and only official website of everyone's favorite Dann with 2 "N's".
As one can tell by looking thru the site, I'm primarily a comic artist. Not saying I can't draw anything else, but doing the comics thing is what makes me happy and people tend to like what I do in regards to the comic/fantasy fun type of artwork.
While working digitally has it's merits, I'm mainly a traditional pen/ink, watercolor, copic colors kinda guy. There's just something about the smell of the ink and the feel of a brush that just makes it a thousand times more enjoyable for me.
I've had years of experience meeting deadlines and working with writers and editors. There's always something fantastic about getting a copy of a real life comic book or magazine and seeing your work and name in it's pages.
Lately, I've been doing commission work. It seems to help pay the bills and gives me plenty of opportunity to meet a lot of fellow comic fans out there. I'm always open for new requests. Every now and then you'll see my sales pop up on Facebook and Instagram, but requests are always accepted.

I've got a lot of influences...a ton of greats that inspire and recharge me every time I look at their work. There's the obvious artists, like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, but others too. Folks like Walt Simonson, John Byrne, John and Sal Buscema, Ron Frenz, Gil Kane and Jim Aparo...all greats, each and every one!
I've also been inspired and sometimes "mentored" by the great Mike Gustovich, creator of the Justice Machine. A fantastic artist that's helped me tons with many of my current projects.
There are others too... non comic artists like Alphonse Mucha, and non superhero artists like Archie penciler Harry Lucey. Heck, there's a zillion more out there that I could name, but the internets not big enough!
