The DM Collection
Artist Daniel Mackie was influenced by the simplicity of movements such as Japanese printmakers of the Ukiyo-e period, Art Deco and Egyptian tomb paintings, and had an interest in sailors' tattoos depicting seafaring mythology. He began drawing animals with their environment depicted within them. He is constantly innovating and evolving, and works to keep expanding the DM Collection's range of products as well as continuing to push his artistic boundaries.
