Hello! and welcome to my portfolio site. My name is Daniel Cusimano and here you can see the best examples of my work, which has been organized by type for your viewing convenience.
For a bit of an overview of me I am a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design with a B.F.A. in Sequential Art. For the curious among you, 'Sequential Art' is an umbrella term first coined by Will Eisner to refer to comic art (he wasn't a fan of how 'comics' didn't sound like it could be serious) be it comic books, syndicated strips in the paper, or graphic novels. The major at SCAD is mainly concerned with learning how to effectively tell a story using interrelated text and images. If you want to learn a bit more I recommend the works of one Scott McCloud. Anything else you'd like to know, just check out the About page.
Oh, and thanks for stopping by!
