Smashed Head Studios

Jamie Rae’s brother Daniel is a true artist, in every sense of the word. He has had artwork published, sold and sought after. The way he thinks, works, does his laundry, brushes his teeth, cooks a meal or just drives to the post office, all reflect his artistic, idealist being. He is as authentic as they make ‘em.

Daniel has always sought out a career path as a professional artist. It’s been a long and challenging journey, as anyone who pursues a creative profession will tell you. His natural talent and incredible drive to succeed helped him begin to wedge one foot in the door. He was doing fine, getting some work published here and there, collaborating on a comic book series, and receiving a few custom art orders.

To make ends meet (the whole starving artist bit wasn’t far off!), he picked up some mechanic work on the side, helping a family friend do odd-job mechanical repairs. While working under a car, a jack gave out and hit him on the head with incredible velocity, shattering the front part of his skull. Astounding medical teams at the hospital, he managed to make it through with no serious complications afterwards, save for a scar on his forehead that makes him look like Harry Potter. Feeling incredibly fortunate, Daniel made up his mind that getting by simply wasn’t good enough anymore. He began developing strategies to further his career and sell his extraordinary art. Smashed Head Studios is the product.

With a dynamic new website, he plans to make his art and talent more accessible to the consumer. Custom art orders can be placed and purchased on the site. Sleek new galleries display his diverse artistic range and a blog keeps you up to date on daily musings, rants and general chatter.

We love his custom art pieces – what an opportunity to give and receive a meaningful gifts, for corporate or personal means. One of the perks of being his sister is that Jamie Rae get all sorts of incredible artwork as gifts from him. Her kids think its the coolest, and she has a never-ending string of inquiries from company about the unique artwork on her walls.

Danny is a constant source of inspiration to us. He is steadfast in his belief that if you do what you love, you’ve discovered happiness. We wish him all the best with Smashed Head Studios, and can’t wait to see the future unroll for this dedicated and talented young artist.
