Meet Daniel Williams – BFA @cnote.xyz     Hi, I’m Dan, an Afro-Asian graphic designer and photographer based in Philadelphia! Community and culture influence many of my works, with a strong focus on storytelling, intentionality, and exploration. Many of my works incorporate both design and illustration practices, where I can further the storytelling and experimentation.  Specialty ⭐ Publishing, Packaging, Marketing  Last read 📚 AFRICOBRA: Experimental Art Toward a School of Thought  Best food around Philly? What is your go-to order 🍽️📍Much of the halal food trucks are great, let alone much of the ethnic dishes here. Although, Jerk Fry City is a great pick. They specialize in Jamaican style Philadelphian dishes, and I like to go for the Jamaican Cheesesteak. My only critique is that the wait can be long, and there’s only certain things you can order in person versus online.  Advice for incoming Design & Illustration students 💬 Make sure to take breaks when you’re feeling stressed, and your calendar is your best friend. It may feel chill at first, but the work will add up, and timing when projects are due (let alone when to do them), will help alleviate the stress.    #createandconnect #graphicdesign #philly #photographer

some n3w shi, jeremiah brown 2025. ^fit: some nice layering with them Balenciaga boots in tow ^dan: my first full illustration that I completed on my iPad I recently bought. Loved the whole concept and layering that Jere did with the outfit. Fashion is meant to push boundaries (as any art form really). #ootd #fitpick #balenciaga #illustration #clothing #rickowens #philly

don't you worry baby, digital illustration, 2025. ^thoughts: all creatives deserve to make something fun, it doesn't always have to be serious. This album was a breath of fresh air. Not that fun albums weren't made before, but sometimes we need something to dance to, rather than just ponder deeply about in a society that has enough things going on.

tyler x converse, digital illustration, 2025. ^thoughts: was a big fan of Tylers June 5 outfit. And it's been in the to do list for a while. Lowkey, there's some areas I'd love to refine, but this'll do for now lol. Gotta make imperfect works to make greater ones 🤧🤞🏽 • • • • • #tylerthecreator #musicart #fashionillustration #clothing #musicart

next to you, digital illustration, 2025. ^description: this took way longer than I expected, which was mainly due to life stuff and figuring out a proper composition. But this is based on that one song released by @erykahbadu and @alanthechemist • • • • • #erykahbadu #erykah #thealchemist #musicart #neosoul #digitalillustration

BADUISM, digital illustration, 2025. So, I feel like I could've gotten this finished sooner, but I've been obsessed with Skyrim recently lol. Either way, I had to do another version of Badu with this musician fashion illustration series. Hope yall like it 😤 • • • • • #erykahbadu #badu #neosoul #soul #musicart #blackart #fashionillustration #avatar #echos19

echos 19 badu, digital illustration, 2025. "you don't have to believe everything you think." I didn't get to watch it, but when Badu and the Alchemist released that single, she did a live stream on Amazon. Afterwards, beyond the controversy of them using AI and all that, I saw her outfit and it reminded me a lot of Sun Ra and Parliament Funkadelic. @erykahbadu • • • • • #digitalillustration #erykahbadu #neosoul #fashionillustration #fashion #musicart #fyp

juneteenth, digital illustration, 2025. ^thoughts: the original plan was to finish this by Juneteenth, but life gets lifing sometimes. Regardless, here's a fairly simple concept for a Juneteenth poster.

DOECHii, digital illustration, 2025. Similar to And. 3's, felt it was necessary to get stylistic with the original concept. Also, thank you all (for those who did) for coming to the Palette & Poetry event yesterday. As well as the artists whom I meant there as well, excited for next time 😤 • • • • • #doechii #hiphop #illustration #alligatorbitesneverheal #avatar #musicart #rapandhiphop

doechii, digital illustration, 2025. "that's creativity." I realize that a lot of people like to illustrate Doechii's mixtape outfit, let alone with the braids. Don't get me wrong, I love the stylization but something about this @nicholas_daley collaboration hits different. @doechii @nicholas_daley • • • • • #digitalillustration #illustration #doechii #alligatorbitesneverheal #hip hop #rap #fashion #fashionillustration #nicholasdaley #earthy #vintage #musicart

hair, 2025. ^hair: I used to have short hairstyles growing up. That was until 2020 when I began growing it out. I didn't really know how to care of it at first, but it was important to me; an extension of my soul, my artistry. Plus, I wanted to get cornrows. They looked so cool to me, and I guess to get closer to who I am identity wise. It sometimes feels like a little thing, but at a point, hair starts to become identity...it is identity. So now it's been 5 years of hair, what a revealing, yet minimal thing. ^poem: Let it wrap, Inlay, over, Fold out like the wings of a pigeon, Every feather a strand of strength, That sheds every day, Unto a new weather, A new solstice, A tangible shield, Let it all unyield, For what it is, And can be ^song: saba is great / he digs deep with artistry and ministry / this song is about hair poetry / not the first he leaned in spiritually • • • • • #hair #illustration #aesthetic #portraits #blog #hairstyles #biracial
