Welcome to Art by Shine – the creative corner of what I do, where things get a bit bolder, a bit weirder, and a lot more fun!

I’m Danny – a designer and illustrator with over 25 years of experience making things look good. While my day job’s all about branding and design, this is where I let loose with bold punchy artwork that’s full of character. I’ve worked with clients including First Direct Arena, York Barbican and David Lloyd, creating eye-catching visuals that demand attention. My work blends retro influences, bold colours and a pop-art edge – perfect for anyone who wants art that makes a statement.

As a lifelong music lover and pop culture geek, a lot of my work is inspired by the sounds, styles and icons that shaped everything from the 60s to today. If you’ve spotted a few familiar faces in my portfolio, that’s no accident – music and art go hand in hand around here.

Whether you’re after a bespoke mural-style piece, a striking illustrated poster, or a custom portrait, I offer a range of commissions to suit your space and style. Every piece is crafted with care, personality, and a whole lot of attitude. So if you’re looking for something original – for your home, your business, or as a unique gift – I’d love to hear from you.
