My creative brain didn't come with an owner's manual. So I wrote one.We all know creativity isn't always sunshine and rainbows, right? We hit walls, the muse goes MIA, and self-doubt drops by for a visit.But don't worry, I've got plenty of ideas to help us power through. All served up in bite-sized, snackable essays.My goal is to help you realize your amazing creative potential and to clear the crap that's getting in the way of having an authentic, creative life. You can do this. I can help.I've been writing essays a few times a week for twenty years. I write about creativity, about life, about the challenges we all face as creative folks. Recently, I decided to collect a bunch of my recent favorites, give them a final polish, illustrate each one and pack em into a book.I really like how they turned out. I hope you do too.262 pp. Fully illustrated by the author.

In the tradition of Persepolis, In the Shadow of No Towers, and Our Cancer Year, an illustrated memoir of remarkable depth, power, and beauty Danny Gregory and his wife, Patti, hadn't been married long. Their baby, Jack, was ten months old; life was pretty swell. And then Patti fell under a subway train and was paralyzed from the waist down. In a world where nothing seemed to have much meaning, Danny decided to teach himself to draw, and what he learned stunned him. Suddenly things had color again, and value. The result is Everyday Matters, his journal of discovery, recovery, and daily life in New York City. It is as funny, insightful, and surprising as life itself.
