Full name: Daniel Kang | 강석종 | 姜石鍾

Danny is currently a freelance animator and illustrator living and working in New York.

He grew up completely immersed in anime, music and videogames.  Following his passion, he went on to graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design with a B.F.A in Film/Animation/Video in 2009.  While animating for the emmy winning PBS kids show “Wordgirl,” his senior thesis film “Kensho” has been screening at animation festivals around the world.  He is now working with Tainted Reality to illustrate “Fixer,” a webcomic series about an American/Japanese rock band.  His artwork style blends traditional anime aesthetics with fine arts, along with a love of visual kei, video games and philosophy.

I am an artist. I believe that art is not just art and that music is not just music. These forms of expression connect us to a world created by our thoughts, emotions and fantasies – our unconscious world of dreams. However, there is an immense difference between simply carrying this world within us and being aware of it. Through striking art, passionate music, and inspiring animation, I seek to create art that dives into the deep to explore the vastness of the human soul; to resurface and kindle new feelings we never knew we had. I seek to create art that touches us, that provokes us and ultimately changes us.
