I recently visited an interesting blog, Von Trapper Keeper and watched a video that was aired on Cambridge Cable Television. Dan Nolan is freelance artist and writer and avid sports fan and after I watched the video I directed my attention to his web site http://dannolan.com/ and poked around for a while and what I found in Dan’s work that he has a firm grasp on capturing the sentiment and feeling of what he is painting, I especially liked the R. Crumb portrait as well as his baseball themes.
But I feel where Dan’s really shines is his ability to meld his talents as an artist and a writer with “Business Casual Stag Devil Death Boy”
Now I am not en expert on graphic novels but I have read “Watchmen” and “Dark Tower”although these are not the same theme I feel Dan’s work was every bit as interesting as well thought provoking and well worth the 25.00$ investment.
Dan also mentioned in the interview that he was trying to sell his paintings in an around Fenway Park but has come up against some of the local red tape with regard to obtaining a peddlers license and that is where I feel this system is broken.
Dan supports himself entirely from his work as an artist and has a very special product that would appeal to any fan of the Red Sox and they won’t let him within five miles of the ball park, I just think thats wrong and I hope this will change in the future.
Dan does some really great work and I hoping that he will get the success that he and his work deserves.
