Danny Michel is a New York native artist and photographer. Born to an artist as 1 of 12 siblings, Danny and his brothers grew up without many toys or other means of entertainment. He and his brothers would draw in their sketch pads daily, comparing each other's art while listening to eclectic and sometimes obscure music. At an early age, he showed strong artistic prowess, winning local awards for his achievements in the arts. A true hermit and self proclaimed 'geek of the highest order', Danny enjoyed nothing more in his teen to young adult years than coding, fixing computers, Star Trek and graphic design. In 2010, Daniel went on to use his artistic eye and technical expertise to launch VAR Magazine; a fashion publication that has since gained much notoriety in the fashion industry. Danny still lives in New York, traveling as needed to further his artistic career and passions.
