Dan's comments on his work:

I am primarily a draftsman. My imagery may involve anything real or imagined which moves me enough to put it down on paper. I have been influenced by all the great draftsmen of the past including: Ingres, Durer, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Hokusai, Jakuchu and, of course, the cosmic Da Vinci. I have also studied the work of more contemporary artists such as R.B. Kitaj, Hans Bellmer, and Joseph Beuys.

I use a variety of materials that include graphite, silverpoint, chalks, charcoal, oils and watercolor.
