Dan is based in Malmoe, Sweden, but thanks to the Internet he has a wide variety of clients all over the world. He draws a lot of inspiration from old American artists and he is a big fan of Norman Rockwell, Haddon Sundblom and the old Disney style. His background as an artist began very early. When he was five he got the nickname “ Little Picasso” - beacsue he drew and painted on everything he could find and reach on walls, carpets and doors, making his poor mom and dad go crazy. After a few years and many furnitures later, he learned to keep his drawings on regular drawing paper, which pleased his parents a lot. Around the same time, he started to enter local drawing-competitions and won quit few of them. Still to this day, those child competitions are the only ones he has won. But never the less he is very proud of it.

Dan was actually one of the first graffiti artists in Sweden when he started in -83. Back then, he didn’t realize that this would be the foundation of his art and the start of his career. Quickly he got better and better with the spray-paint cans, always trying to learn and discover new techniques do make the paintings more beautiful. During the graffiti years he got well known as a talented graffiti artist and his paintings could be seen on many places around the city. This later on led to a TV-documentary about Dan and his graffiti art. After it aired, things started to move - people hired him and paid him to create his paintings on their walls. |
