last year i spoke at a conference in dublin called OFFSET. i talked at moderate length about my influences and concepts and ideas, a bit about myself and my processes, all that good stuff. it was filmed all fancy like and i finally have a copy i can share with you all. if you want a peek into how i tick, this is a pretty good start. let me know what you think or any questions in the comments.

Just finished watching the video. Really enjoyed it. It was cool to hear some of the background on your prints that i had never heard before. Thanks for posting it!
really enjoyed seeing this! i could not stop watching. thanks for sharing some very personal experiences and how your mind works. keep up the good work.
that was awesome. thanks for uploading it.
Thanks for sharing that…it was really cool to get an insight into your work. Sorry to hear the story of Grace. I always felt that you had suffered something related to a lost friend/love…that underlying feeling seems to come thru in a lot of your work (to my eyes at least)….I will plan on purchasing one of those “Please don’t worry…” prints when more are available. Stay inspired and keep up the great work.
I was pleasantly surprised to see some of your influences, like Bill Watterson. And of course it is awesome to get a narrated tour of all this great artwork. Thanks for posting this—
really enjoyed watching this. very nice to get an insight to what’s happening behind the images. thanks, Daniel.
Is it me or did the Irish folks just not appreciate Daniel’s humor? It seemed silent in the auditorium, but he cracked me up.
Loved this, thanks for posting it. The 45 minutes flew by, appreciate you sharing the personal side of your art.
My girl adores the “Please Don’t Worry … ” print we have framed up.
Enjoyed the info - thank you for posting.
You mention how you began pouring yourself into your work beginning with “Don’t worry… Something New.” Do you ever feel like you have put too much of yourself into a piece? Something that you perhaps find a little too revealing?
I really enjoyed that. Very inspirational. Cool to hear about the background behind all these pieces of art that I love (sink or swim especially). Keep doing what you do.
Didn’t want this to end! Very interesting and inspiring. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for posting this. It’s fascinating to hear the thoughts behind the images and the titles. I was at Flatstock at SXSW a few years ago and was instantly captivated by your work…my husband asks me why I love it so much and it’s hard to put into words. I just do
Thanks for the video. It’s cool to get some insight into your work. The mood and emotion that your pieces create is amazing, kind of like being in a dream. I had a question. Do you use photo reference for the locations, or do you do sketches on location and that sort of thing when planning your artwork?
I came across your work a year or so ago and revisited today and am grateful that I did. I’m fully understand the idea of “eye of the beholder,” but the artist being able to talk about where they were at (emotionally/mentally/physically) during the creation is what makes it important to me. It add a great deal. I like to know about where the idea comes from. Thank you for sharing and let me know when I can get a “Don’t you worry, When I wake up I will be something new.”
Keep up the great work, stay inspired, and thank you for sharing.
Great presentation. Interesting to hear the origins and backstories and inspirations of my favorite prints. Thanks, DD!
I am very moved my your art, and now even more so after hearing the story behind each piece. Thank you for sharing this.
Well, this pretty much answers the questions I had in the emails I sent you. Thanks for posting.
loved it. was great seeing some works i haven’t seen before.
