About Daniel Danger

Daniel Danger is an illustrator and printmaker working out of New England. The son of an middle school art teacher married to a professional potter, Daniel was never going to be a mathematician or claims adjuster for a top rated insurance agency.

Amidst old houses dead from the fallout of urban sprawl, railway bridges asleep from neglect, and trees that engulf everything, his work attempts to remind you of something you may have said to someone, or something someone may have said to you; back in that time period thats just too far away to remember clearly, but not so long ago you forgot about it completely.

His memories and many of his friends are simply ghosts now, shaking him awake with mistimed alarm clocks and the sounds of a television from across the house. Documentation is key to get through the day. Things are always changing and its easy to lose yourself.

cute and tasty: pantone chip cookies

Well hello, Awesome. I couldn’t think of a better way to start today than with these seriously amazing Pantone Chip Cookies from Kim Neill. Kim is a freelance designer and illustrator and she created these fabulous Pantone cookies using her collection of Pantone chips. Inspired by this fun Pantone tin ($28), Kim worked with Royal icing to create the exact colors and even broke out her luster dust to create metallic “chip” cookies. Once the icing set, she used an edible marker to add the Pantone numbers and voila! The perfect treat for an art opening, birthday party or even a child’s art class. Click here to check out Kim’s post and replicate the look yourself. Thanks to Nikko for the tip! xo, grace
