About me: Independant Comic book artist, web designer, entervoid.com artist, video store manager.
I do a lot of upkeep work for the sequential art battling site entervoid.com, as well as act on the approval committee, approving or declining new fighters as they arrive. I am also currently working on several projects for publications by Void Studios. One os a short story called "A Decision Too Old," and is for a future edition of our pulp collection book entitled "Void Pulpo." The other big one is an ambitious project set for its own release sometime in the summer of 2007, an original graphic novel, the first to be set inside the Void universe, featuring Void fighters, new and old alike. This story will have many twists and turns, and a lot of new information about characters that we never knew before. It will also feature a shocking ending that will only be available to those who get the book, so keep your eyes open for that one. It is called Void City: Final Hour.
My Void work thus far can be seen at: Dan's work on enterVOID
Sites I have done: skullcapCOMIX.com (Site is not fully functional at the moment, I am in the middle of redesigning it finally.)
Who I'd like to meet: James Hetfield, Frank Miller, Kevin Smith (oh wait, i DID meet him already), KATSUHIRO OTOMO, Bryan Singer, Frank Miller, Jesus, Dane Cook, Mitch Hedberg, Kurt Cobain,

Hi Dan. I hope it isn't weird that I'm leaving you a comment.. I just wanted to say that I read your ma's blog and CONGRADULATIONS! I hope you're doing well and that your wedding is beautiful =]
Dude, I've read some of your recent blog entries and it looks like you're definitely pissed at someone. Not clearly sure who, but I hope things will get back on track for ya. God forbid you won't do anything you'll regret or anyone close to you will regret hearing about. Look what happened to Heath Ledger 3 months ago. Awesome actor, perfect as the new Joker. Don't wanna lose you as a friend. I also looked at your status/bio part of your page. Are you engaged to Robyn as of recent? If so congrats. Also I'm trying to land a photo position at Wolf Camera in Downers Grove. So if I can get it, a good pay rate, and full-time hours I should be able to room with you in June. If your room-mate Kevin is still planning to head-out in 2 months. talk to ya soon
