Daniel Danger & Dan McCarthy Go Straight For The Heart.

I can scarcely think of a better pairing of artists than the current show at the San Francisco branch of Gallery 1988, which features gig poster artist Daniel Danger and Daniel McCarthy. Both artist create pieces with heavy nature elements, stark color contrasts, and grandiose underlying messages that truly, truly appeal to the heartstrings of individuals who can understand slightly poetic sentiments. A truly amazing show, and I look forward to scoping it out 100% when I’m in the Bay Area the last day of the show, April 25th.


Daniel Danger‘s we were waiting at the seams, bursting but through quiet means.


Dan McCarthy‘s while you were sleeping.
