One line about Daniel Laing’s art
Daniel Laing’s perceptive and alluring pen and ink line drawings capture the imperceptible movement of still places; they illustrate the GrassRoutes Guides and show at galleries up and down the West Coast.

Daniel Laing
Born and raised in Oakland, Daniel’s style of freehand line drawing continues to evolve with each new GrassRoutes Guide. He is self-taught, since the ripe old age of two. Daniel studied anthropology at UC Berkeley, where he learned to see beyond the superficial by putting aside preconceived notions. Find him zipping around the streets of Oakland and San Francisco on his speedy bike, scaling the bouldering walls at the local climbing gym, in the front row of a Sonic Youth concert, or buried in a book. See Daniel’s designs and artwork at www.daniellaing.com.
