Book review: Everyday matters, a New York diary
Published by Papress.
This book is gorgeous, sad, funny, quirky and alive with the spirit of a man living through and trying to survive a life changing circumstance. His wife has been run over by a train and is paralysed, they have a small son and live in New York. The story is a tale of survival of a man trying to understand and come to terms with how this one event is going to affect his life and their life together, their plans for the future and their everyday. It is at times heart wrenching, but also incredibly thoughtful and honest and true.
This book is a conglomerate of Danny’s many diaries and sketch books, it is filled with everyday matters (hence the title of the book), each day lived with the small things enjoyed. It is a book about the love he has for his wife and family and friends and about the lessons he has learned and is still learning.
This is a brave story and beautiful story. Thank you Danny for sharing it.

This is a wonderful book. Danny inspired me to start drawing everyday a year and a half ago. My creative spirit is much happier making or drawing!

I learned about Danny after reading his other book, Creative License, which inspired me to start drawing every day. Thanks for the tip about this book.
