Danny J. Gibson (@DJGKCMOUSA) has become the (slightly burnt) toast of the Kansas City art scene this fall. He’s been on KC’s NPR affiliate, KCUR, featured in The Pitch, celebrated in New York City’s Felt & Wire, interviewed at length on one of @BARRR‘s A. D. D.

Kansas City artist Danny J. Gibson (www.djgdesign.com) has created a plethora of original pieces for my book. He spent 10 hours on art this past weekend alone, which is really no special feat for Danny. I suspect he would not sleep at all if he did not have to, just so he could create art...
