The Basement Became His Bedroom
Daniel loved comic books then. He wasn’t buying them to read; he was buying them for the artwork. He claimed it was his inspiration for his art. He took the downstairs garage and utility room into his bedroom and his studio. You can see comic books lining the whole room. He had his artwork hanging all over, a piano on one side of the room, and an old couch on the other.

He loved this room so much that in his last apartment, he recreated the basement from his childhood. In this new apartment, he also has his comic books and artwork lying all over the place. Even the piano looks like the same one that he had growing up.
