Welcome to my little home away from home. I'm not real web savvy and I didn't feel the need to post up a legitimate website so I opted for this. It seemed like the logical alternative.
My name is Dan Alexander (or "Beetle" to my friends or Uncle Beetle to my nephews and niece) and I am a Professional Illustrator. I work for one of those print-on-demand publishing outfits and boy, do I like my job. Being a professional artist is the best! It has its bad days, don't get me wrong, but for the most part, I love getting up in the morning!
I have a BFA in Graphic Design from Indiana State University and two years at Dover, New Jersey's celebrated Joe Kubert School. I love to draw, paint and sculpt.
My main influences are from the good ol' comics (Kirby, Wrightson, BWS, Frazetta, Sienkiewicz, Jones, Kaluta, Buscema, the list goes on...). But these also opened my eyes to the fine artist; Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Klimt, JS Sargent, Remington, JC leyendecker, Bernie Fuchs and others.
My hopes for this little corner of the web are to post my work and receive feedback, to be influenced by others who share my interests in art. Nice meeting you and I will post lots more work soon!
