  Fantastic presentation of the genius of Chris Ware Danny, I love his work as well as R Crumbs, and yours ranks Third in my Top Three (: I own all your books, a couple of Chris Wares and a couple of R. Crumbs, along with his music CD. Thanks Danny. Also love that you started this series with Hannah Hinchmann too, showing her mad respect (: Tim M.

  I took my first “comic book art” commission piece in my 25 year career two months ago. I assumed it was easy, therefore I bid it low. I’m quite certain I earned three dollars per hour once it was complete and delivered. I have a massive new respect for the genre of art now-!!  Fascinating artist and book you shared. Thank you!

  I really appreciate these Sketchbook Club videos.  Introduces us to many different artists and also helps to reaffirm our own practice. I have tracked down and added to my collection through these videos.  Thank you!

  As much as the thought terrifies me, i would want someone as thoughtful, empathetic and insightful as you to go through my sketchbooks one day. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable video :)

  Very cool analysis on Chris Ware's comics and sketchbooks! I also love how you described art (especially comics) being lonely (most creative pursuits seem to be though). Although nowadays, social media does a lot to lessen this.

  I find your channel inspiring and relatable.. I agree with some artist being and looking detached... I'm one of them coz I prefer alone than socializing.. I do have a healthy mind though. 😊😁

  When you turn pages from the deep inside position that Danny is doing here with his left thumb, you can easily dent the page. In fact, it&apos;s easier to see when Danny opens the big book, (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7O2G9ADulU&amp;t=280">4:40</a>) that the pages are already dented. I remember bringing home a modern art book and my temporary roommate, Joe, was flipping through it like this, and those pages were normal book paper, not the sturdier stuff these are. The guy put a dent in every single page of the whole book, which I had just brought home. When I told him what he was doing, he sneered at me. My book. Joe is long gone, but I have another artist friend who does the same damn thing. I never have him over. We meet elsewhere...

  Incredible how someone who could draw anything in any style could be so full of self doubt.
