If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Film, Photography, Printmaking, Video

I am...: I`m an autodidact multi artist working with short film/video, art photography, poster art, lyric/poetry and music.

About my artwork: I have been living a hard life since my difficult childhood. Back then I had two operations in my spinal core when I was 9 and 14 years old. These operations have made me paralyzed for life and i`m using a wheelchair. I have since my 21 birth year been suffering from a mental breakdown and depression. All the illness have influenced my life and my life have influenced my art.

Larry Clark was a photographer long before he started making movies. he made this book called "Tulsa" which, I think, is one of the most important photo books of this century. It has influenced so many photographers but i think none of them achieved the authenticity that he did. Haha i can be very opinionated. Here is a link to a really good documentary about Larry Clark I found. It explains his ideas very well:

Yea try to find "Shadows" and let me know what you think. Its pretty obscure but maybe you can find it.

We are finishing up a cycle of the corpses but early next year I think we will embark on a new project and you should definitely be involved. Send a message to kika and let her know you and i had talked about you being involved in the project. Also if you have good ideas about collaborations i am all ears. Yes Zach and I are working making a Dogma 95 style film about our mentally unbalanced friend. I have seen Julian Donkey Boy but was not crazy about it. I thought Werner Hertzog's performance was the best part. I thought Gummo was a much better movie but thats just me. I haven't seen his newest movie but heard it was ok. I am really influenced by that style but i think i Like Larry Clark more. I really loved the movie "the Celebration" as well. Have you seen the John Cassavetes movie "shadows"? If you haven't you should. It is from the early 60's and is totally raw and unglamorous and had a huge influence on Harmony Korine and a lot of those Dogma film makers. Its crazy to see something so disturbing from that time period when most everything else being made was pretty tame.

At 6:16pm on 14th October 2008, Joshua Sandler said…: Danny I totally agree we do have a lot in common. Alienation and loneliness are me and zach's bread and butter. I really liked your film Coincidence a lot. We are working on a similar project right now. A dogma-esque short film about our friend who may be schizophrenic. You should get involved with the group who is doing the Exquisite Corpse video Project. Is a good opportunity to get involved in collaborations with us and some of the other video artists on art review and I think your style would fit in really well. You should let Kika know you want to get involved. Is a good forum to get collaborations started. We already have done a few collaborations with people we started out doing the Corpses with.
