Dan Formidoni
Illustrator
At an early age Dan began drawing cartoons, animals, and portraits of his favorite athletes and musicians. This hobby turned into a passion and now as an all-around professional artist he not only creates and paints stand alone art pieces, but does face painting, mural work, graffiti-style spray-painting, tattoo design, and of course illustrations. Dan loves painting works using a vibrant brush technique with bright and displaced colors to convey a narrative in addition to creating art for educational stories. Dan currently lives with his wife and two sons in middle Tennessee.
