Danny is the reason I even have a sketchbook today. I always thought I sucked at drawing. But I dared to start after reading his stories. What incredible power his story holds.
Dear Danny, very moved by your life story, we all dream of a perfect life but it never turns out the way you like it to. What's amazing you jumped over those hurdles blocking you and continued on in life and it's brought you happiness again connecting with people. Well my story is I was an architect in NYC from 1986 to 2006, I quit architecture because it was a stressful job. I ended up living in China for 6 years after 2006 teaching English to Chinese students in a private school. It was enjoyable teaching them about my American culture and things we do everyday here. In 2012 I came back to the States with not knowing what to do next. I moved to Melbourne, Florida where I had lived in the past when I was a teenager. I live in Melbourne Beach now since I love the beach-side. I had started a Vintage BMX Bike business, rebuilding vintage bmx bike frames with new school bmx parts in different coordinated colors and it took off from 2013 to 2020 after that it sizzled because others copied me. I just been selling bmx bike parts online only since then. My love has always been art and architecture. I have done pencil, ink, pastel, watercolor and acrylic drawing and painting. Also ventured into digital art. Now I have started a business with my niece. It's handcrafted glass bead jewelry. We make bracelets, necklaces, earrings and so on. My problem is we started this last December 2023 and its been 5 months and not one sale. Wanted your advice on what to do to attract customers if you don't mind.

As a recent widow, I really appreciate the openness about that experience. I'm signed up to the new course and raring to start. Thank you for the honesty.
Incredibly inspiring Danny,I love your story , your journey and your desire to give back and to inspire and help others create. Years ago I watched you drawing your face, you did this everyday, and I remember saying “ oh I don’t have that sort of time in my busy schedule”, you encouraged me to try, and overtime I started. Now I draw,paint,and throw pots, and I have a full time job. I make time and you showed me the way.thankyou
Wow. This is such a great and very deep personal story. Thank you for sharing. And Convertkit thank you for making it possible for creators worldwide to explore their talents AND share them with the world.
I loved it. I've been following Danny for a few months and I have him to thank for starting my drawing journey again. He has a way of making everything easier. His calmness is contagious. Thanks for this note and thanks to Danny.
Wow. In this video, Danny shared his life, his tragedies and his journey with honesty, vulnerability and accessibility. It is a wonderful, heart felt story that not only touched my heart, it inspired me to find my own creativity. Thank you.
Thanks for such a heartfelt and open life story! I have followed Sketchbook Skool for a long time, such a unique take on art and life as an artist, not like any of the others. I love watching and feel like I know Danny, even from a distance. I admire all the love, work and effort he puts into what he shares. My heart goes out to his loss and cheers for his successes!
This is so incredibly touching and inspiring … I was in advertising, too … I’m a creative person and this makes me feel so empowered to continue to make and share all the beautiful things in interesting ways - I love it!!
I am so inspired by this very sad and very beautiful story. Art and creating beauty has the power to not only tell a story but to heal - very inspiring
This was so beautifully done. Although the hardship that Danny has gone through, it’s inspiring to see what he’s creating and the connections he’s making with his newsletter.
Hallo, When I first saw you…I had a feeling…there was some treasure behind in your life journey…hearing your story I stopped breathing you made me cry. It was so harsh beautiful and we are weak and now I somehow understand…came these points together. Sorry for the horrible moments you had to pass. Thanks for sharing and for your work. Jana
I loved this! It was really touching! I’ve been a fan of Danny’s for years! I love his weekly essays, own all of his books and am getting ready to start my first course with him. If you haven’t been watching him or reading his books , as a creative, I highly recommend you start!
What a brilliant piece of work. Thank you for sharing your journey with the all of us. Who knew that so much good can come from such deep pain. It is a testament to LOVE. Thanks for the encouragement. It's amazing to see what the human heart can withstand and the beauty that emerges from that intense pain. Kudos on such brilliant work.
Wow what an incredible story. I have such admiration for you and your journey. I have a creator inside me as well, but I just can’t seem to get it out. I’m afraid I think . Your story has given me hope that maybe I’ll be able to find some courage to make a change. Thank you for sharing ❤
