Why Dan the Man?
Greetings my name is Dan Thompson. I often promote myself as Dan the Man not out of ego but my friends just call me that. This (Dan the Man) also separates me from other artists of the same name. Traditionally my art has been fun, emotional, and often colorful. I am influenced more by commercial art than fine art although I love both. I place more value to the opinions of the people willing to write a check than groups of socialite art snobs. I believe artists should show a sense of individuality and uniqueness in their work. While some might see a certain style in my work, I believe it is more like my current state of mind during that artistic project. My brain works a little differently than most. I tend to see things visually first while words are more like a second language to me. I like light hearted visually appealing images. If you believe all artwork should be deep & meaningful some of my work is not for you.
Thank you for your interest in me and my art!
Sincerely.....DANtheMAN
