| Author Notes: |
Saturday morning cartoons and lounge music, big-time wrestling and creature movies, bowling alleys and flying saucers, kitschy fun parks and the Ramones, diners, Dino-Land, Dean Martin-these are just a few of Daniel Guidera 's favorite things that inspire his signature Illustration-A-Go-Go! style. His work has appeared in venues such as MAD Magazine , Topps baseball cards, cookie boxes, in-flight magazines, great metropolitan newspapers, technology magazines and grade school textbooks. Most recently, Daniel had immense fun creating illustrations for the iPad e-book app My Dad Drives A Roller Coaster Car, currently available in the iTunes store. He's won awards, but then, so has everybody. |
