“I primarily work with recycled materials, using items that I buy or find around the city or laying around my studio to create my miniatures. My approach is to create hyper-realistic, small-scale replicas of iconic NYC scenes, bringing a piece of the city into people's homes."
When it comes to Design Process / Inspiration for the can / Can Name Danny says:
The design process for the can involves capturing the gritty, vibrant energy of NYC. By incorporating my hand holding my signature ice box do the viewer will see that it’s a miniatures set, I draw inspiration from the everyday scenes and landmarks that surrounded me growing up in Brooklyn. I chose to name of the can "CORTES" so my fans and followers could easily recognize it. This name also holds special significance for my family, making the collaboration even more meaningful.
When asked "What do you hope to achieve with your art/platform?" Danny says:
I hope to preserve and share the unique character of New York City through my miniatures. My platform aims to bring attention to the beauty in the mundane and to inspire others to see their surroundings in a new light.
When asked "If there's anything else you'd like to let people know?" Danny says:
This collaboration with BXBrewery is an exciting opportunity to merge art and craft beer, i love to work with people that thrive on passion and community. I'm thrilled to bring a taste of NYC's streets to their cans and share our mutual love for the city.
