Hello.
My name is Dan. I am a digital artist and illustrator from Melbourne, Australia. I started the Fisher Classics project in 2020 during lockdowns to brush up on some professional skills.
I began making artworks about sports.
In the years since, I’ve sold works in The Cricketer Magazine featured in The Australian and created branding identities and digital illustrations for Cricket Et Al.
My works have featured at The Chappel Foundation Dinner. I’ve filled commissions for international athletes and sports clubs from community to national level.
It’s been fun, but not easy.
Becoming a solo-praneur is something that I both love and hate. Balancing being a hustle-bro while still making stuff I am proud of is tough. If I’m going to build an audience, I want to enjoy doing it and make stuff I am proud of.
So I started Field Notes.
These essays are a chance for me to explore the things I really love; sports, design, culture and creativity. It’s not your usual sports content or your usual art content.
I hope you’ll enjoy Field Notes.
