Danny D'Alessandro Griffith: United States; Born in Philadelphia P.A. I resided there until my family moved to Northern Kentucky, which is right outside of Cincinnati, Ohio. There I discovered my love for Art, and developed my skills through the teachings of Keith Klein a renowned local artist in the area. Although I loved the Cincinnati area, my fondest memories were of my summers at the Jersey Shore, and visiting my family in South Philadelphia, where my Italian heritage on my mother's side greatly influenced my love for the tastes and smells of inner city life. In 2004 I was accepted by Ringling College of Art and Design where I majored in illustration. Ringling has cultivated my art talent and has made me the artist I'm today. Words cannot describe how much I have learned in those four years. My passions in life vary greatly. From the love of Philadelphia sports, inner city life, graffiti art, and dogs, especially my English Bulldog Bruno, all of which are reflected in my artwork. I graduated from Ringling in May of 2008 with a BFA in Illustration and look forward to entering the next stage in my life and being granted the opportunity of working in the world of Art, which I truly love.
