Danny Gregory

Danny Gregory has written several internationally best-selling books on art and creativity and is currently writing his eighth. His illustrations have appeared in the New York Times and many other publications and books. He lives in New York City.

Danny spent three decades as one of New York’s leading advertising creative directors and has created award-winning, global campaigns for clients like Chase, JPMorgan, American Express, IBM, Burger King, Ford, Chevron and many others.

Through his books (Art Before Breakfast, Everyday Matters, An Illustrated Life, An Illustrated Journey, A Kiss Before You Go, The Creative License, etc) and in the several large online communities he oversees, Danny has shown thousands of people how to ignite their inner artists, embrace their creativity and tell the stories of their lives. From Indiana to Indonesia, people who haven’t drawn since grade school have picked up the creative habit and have gone on to publish books of their own and show and sell their artwork.

Taught by the world’s best illustrators, artists and educators, Sketchbook Skool encourages its global community of over 8,000 students to draw and keep a sketchbook regardless of skill level.
