About Danny

I was born in London, which we left when I was four. We moved briefly to Pittsburgh, Pa. then to Canberra, Australia. When I was nine, I went to live with my grandparents in Lahore, Pakistan. Next we went to a kibbutz in Israel then moved to a small town called Kfar Saba. As the Yom Kippur War broke out, we relocated to Brooklyn where I went to a Quaker high school. I was editor of the school paper and organized a Marxist study circle. I graduated from Princeton University, summa cum laude, with a degree in Politics. It was my 21st school.

When I was eleven, I began my first job – assisting the vet at the local slaughterhouse. I’ve worked in a record store, in one of New York’s finest restaurants, and my congressman’s office. I was a White House intern (Jimmy Carter lusted for me only in his heart) and a McDonalds’ fry cook. I have also worked in a half dozen advertising agencies, and illustrated books, newspapers, and magazines. I am currently Executive Creative Director of McGarryBowen.

Several books of my books have been published, including: Hello World; Everyday Matters; Change Your Underwear Twice a Week; Peanut; Bad to the Bone; Me Time,  The Creative License; and An Illustrated Life. You can get your own copies of any of them in this site’s store.

I live in Greenwich Village, New York  with my lovely wife, Patti Lynn, my son, Jack Tea, and our miniature long-haired dachshunds, Joe and Tim.
