Everyday Matters



I bought a new illustrative book a week ago. Really excited when I saw it on the book shelve in Kino. Every Matters by Danny Gregory

He is one of my favourite illustrator. Love reading his illustration journal. The everyday things that he sketched were common and simple. But I find it simply intriguing .

The flow of creative energy in those rough lines excite and inspire me.

Love those Pigeons. Reminded me of the big fat Pigeons that parade along Orchard road.

Here is a short biography of him, I extracted from Illustration Friday.
Danny Gregory is an author, illustrator, creative director, copywriter and teacher. His books include Everyday Matters: a memoir (lauded by R. Crumb, Chris Ware, Ronald Searle and hailed as one of the best of the Year by Comics Journal; available in hardcover, paperback and even a Korean edition); The Creative License: Giving yourself permission to be the artist you truly are (one of the bestselling art instruction and inspiration of the last year) Hello World: a life in ham radio; E; Change Your Underwear Twice a Week: lessons from the golden age of classroom filmstrips.

Danny has illustrated books for Workman and F+W. His illustrations regularly appear in the New York Times, Black Book, Print, HOW, More, LA Weekly and other publications. He is also a contributing artist to The Morning News. He is an award-winning creative director who has created advertising campaigns for Chase, Crayola, American Express, IBM, Ford Motor Company, Burger King, AT&T and many others.
