My name is Dani Pendergast. I’m a freelance illustrator from Parkland, Florida and currently based in Boston, Massachusetts. I’m interested in exploring deeper truths in my work. The narratives that touch on identity and those of magical places that spark a feeling of wonder are among my favorites. In my work, I aim to evoke a poetic, and at times eerie, quality by using surreal solutions, bold colors and thoughtful line-work. I’m interested in working on editorial projects, comics, gallery exhibitions and other creative practices. Selected Clients Wizards of the Coast, Apple, Boom!
