About

Dear visitor,

Around 2000, I began using the name dailydanai.com for my website. At that time, I was a recent art academy graduate, convinced that to be a successful illustrator, one had to create something every day. I set out with that ambitious goal. Despite some small successes, it felt hard to meet up to my own expectations. However, I wasn’t willing to change the name.

In 2022, my perspective has evolved. Each day, I choose to work on what matters to me—not because I feel I have to, but because I recognize the opportunity and privilege in doing so. Every day is precious. I spend my time creating new things, enjoying life with my wife and kids, or focusing on my physical fitness. I no longer feel the need to publish daily. Writing has become a way for me to stay grounded in what’s meaningful to me.

Today, dailydanai.com remains as relevant as when I first started it. It serves as a  reminder: each day is a gift, and it’s up to me to decide how to use it. I live one day at a time. For me, every day is my  Dailydanai day.
