Hi.
My name is Danny M. Valdez. I'm a designer, front-end web developer, and illustrator. I live in Los Angeles, and I get to play on the computer all day making cool, pretty internet stuff.

Comics
A short story about about fandom, nostalgia, and how our relationships with the art and artists that inspire us evolve over time.
A longform semi-autobiographical exploration of time, place and culture, told through a split narrative.
A year's worth of daily vignettes chronicling my move from the suburbs to Downtown LA.
An unfinished retelling of the book of Mark, set in a reimagined Southern California of the 1970s.
A 24-page rant stemming from a lifetime spent in the bowels of suburban Southern California.
The goal: An introspective analysis of my first real breakup. The outcome: This one-sided, superficial comic.
A 7-page meta-thesis that emerged after months of struggling with the pressures of wrapping up my Fine Art degree.
Set on the sales floor of a big-box retailer, this comic wound up getting me fired from my first real job.
