Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Page as he shares his story with us below:
Daniel Page is a little-known American artist located in West Tennessee. Raised in a rural community known as “Blood River Bottom” circa 1981. From an early age, he demonstrated an innate artistic talent. Many of his school teachers, family, and friends have helped nurture his creative passion over the years. In 1995 he received the Buchanan Middle School “Outstanding Contribution in Art” award. Inspired by many of the top comic book artists of the ’80s & ’90s, he went on to study art at Henry Co. High excelling in Art I, II, & III as well as C.A.D. design in Drafting I & II. In 1999 he was voted “Most Talented” senior superlative.
In 2000, he moved to Paris, TN where he studied guitar theory under the late (Artist & Musician) Stephen Grimstead, also touching on charcoal realism, surrealism, portraiture, abstract digital art, and the recording arts. In 2006, Page was offered a watch & jewelry repair apprenticeship. While showing his exceptional hand-eye coordination, he went on to become certified in advanced stone setting & standard jewelry repair. In 2016 he started “PageArtworks” to provide commissioned graphic design images to individual customers and businesses. In addition, he continues to work on private commissions, illustrations, and cover art for various authors.
Daniel Page is currently the Cover Artist & Editor for the “Sulfur Wells” comic book series created by Otis Crain. Page lives with his wife of 23 years and two children. Daniel also considers himself an awesome soccer dad to boot.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Of course, finding time and inspiration is always a constant battle for me. Not to mention, transitioning from traditional to digital has proved to be quite challenging as well.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I’ve worked in the commercial art field a bit doing more graphic design stuff like small business logos, promotional images, merchandising, etc. Although I may be better known for illustrative portraits or comic book cover art.
I’m probably most proud of the comic book cover art that I’ve had the opportunity to provide, as they are generally reserved for more established artists in the field.
What’s next?
I’ve really enjoyed meeting people and signing books while working the Comic-Con circuit this year. I don’t have anymore currently scheduled, but I might be able to attend a couple in 2023. For the time being, I’ll just “stay the course” and continue to focus on growth and learning within the craft.
