| Introduction | My name is Dan and I live in Brooklyn, New York. I came to Brooklyn several years ago to attend Pratt Institute. I am currently working a job in high end retail but eventually I would love to be an illustrator for books or magazines. Here in New York I spend 70% of my time at work in a department store, 20% at my art table, 5% at the theater, and 5% washing dishes. A great day involves the perfect cup of coffee and a fantastic book. |
