Daniel is an artist depicting daily (or nightly) urban life with pencils and ink. He has beautiful drawings of many parts of downtown Raleigh. Above is a cityscape of Fayetteville Street and an almost isometric view of the Post Office. He is currently selling his works for $20 each, the proceeds of which will fund future illustrations with canvas. He has been in Raleigh 4 years.

Hi Daniel,
I am a pencil artist in Raleigh. You can visit my website. http://www.hismanyfaces.com . One day I will come see you downtown. Who knows maybe I will set up an easel next to you and pull out my pencils. I would like to see your work and get some experience sketching on the streets. God Bless you through the Christmas Season.
