An illustrator based in Auckland, New Zealand - Daniel’s work is an observational, uncanny take on the world around him, often taking inspiration from various styles and mediums. Daniel’s work reflects his upbringing of having Eastern roots with a Western upbringing, a dichotomy that tends to appear in his work showing the cultural dissonance between two differing cultures.
