Dan Woodger grew up watching The Simpsons and day dreaming about making a living from doing what he loves – drawing. Fast forward and his client list now proves that’s possible, with the likes of Google, Pepsi, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Netflix having all worked with Dan. Studying illustration at Brighton University and now living in London, Dan’s illustrations are made from a cast of colourful and playful characters in a style like no other. Projects with McDonalds and Samsung have seen him travel the globe to Japan and Taiwan respectively. His next move is making his work come to life with animation.

- Dan Woodger opens the Nuit Blanche Animation festivalAt long last, we are able to share Dan Woodger's work for Samsung Taiwan. The brief was to write, direct and animate a short animation celebrating the city of Taipei which would then open the Nuit Blanche Animation festival as part of a multi-faceted marketing collaboration with Samsung.6
- Dan Woodger x BuzzFeed UKDan Woodger was commissioned by digital publishing giant BuzzFeed UK to create the header for a satirical feature about how buying a journal can change a person’s life. The initial idea, was to show a journal displayed behind a glass case in a gallery, roped off, with a whole host of people in awe of it. Other famous pieces of art could be on the wall next to it but nobody is interested in them. We think Dan nailed this one.5
