PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF<\/strong>
\nMy name is Daniel Fishel and I am an illustrator\/designer living in Queens, NY. After attending undergrad at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia<\/a>, I moved to New York to pursue a graduate studies degree at School of Visual Arts and a career in illustration. Clients I’ve work for include the Los Angeles Times<\/a>, Nylon Guys Magazine<\/a> and No Sleep Records<\/a>. When I am not working I am usually biking around my neighborhood, listening to records, looking up youtube videos of Boston Terriers or occasionally answering emails by people who think I am “Danielle Fishel”. You know the actress that played Topanga in Boy Meets World. <\/p>\n

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?<\/strong>
\nThe work that I create, I consider to be conceptual illustration. Not so much in the purest form where I am drawing puzzle pieces and rubix cubes all day for business magazines, but its more on an emotional level. Typically the work I create is about a character that is being confronted by another character or it’s interacting with something in the space. I use metaphor, color, the placement of the figures on the page and sometimes lighting to better tell the story being told.<\/p>\n

PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS<\/strong>
\nIt doesn’t matter if the piece I am working on is for a magazine or for the gallery wall. Often times the process for me is the same. If I am working with a magazine, I am taking the content they provide and distilling the content into a sentence. From that sentence I try to take the subject matter and a personal frame of reference that I can bring into the piece. The same thing goes with a painting I would do for a gallery. Instead of taking the content from a magazine, I have to build my own conceptual narrative to build an image. The difference here though is for a gallery piece I am making a physical painting, where as for an illustration, I am compositing linework overtop of swatches of paint, lino block\/silk screen textures, and ink washes in photoshop. The difference is six to eight hours for an illustration versus twenty to thirty hours for a painting. I guess it takes longer to make a painting for me because I am more conservative about how I lay down colors because theres no command + Z in real life.<\/p>\n

HOW DOES YOUR ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE YOUR ART?<\/strong>
\nLiving in New York is some what of a wanderlust. I am constantly engaging with a large variety of people, eating lots of different foods, and hearing tons of different music from all over the world. It all adds to my visual vocabulary that I wouldn’t have if I had continued living in a small town in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n

WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?<\/strong>
\nCy Twombly, Raymond Pettibon, Mia Christopher, Cristy Road, Rene Magritte, Cuban Poster Art, 80’s\/90’s Skate Decks, and hundreds of gig posters I’ve seen over the years. <\/p>\n
