 Hi from IMAGE COLLECTIONS,
Mississauga's most ART-LOVING, STORY-DRIVEN, HOPE-FILLED, crazy-talkin 
COMICS / CARDS / GAMING STORE...  
     [........in STREETSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA ;o]
 
[...intro by TM Maple Leaf...]
 
Here, on this page, are some of the people you may wish to aspire to be like...
  
Most of them, possibly like you, have had dreams to reach out by harvesting from within, taking stands by giving the world pieces & places of themselves they thought had long sat dormant enough...
 
Like many reading this, they had been spawning ideas, sometimes only every now & then, sometimes daily or hourly...sometimes hundreds of them, sometimes only a couple, or even, just perhaps, only one....
 
The quantity, the frequency, or even the quality aren't all that important....
 
An idea....ANY IDEA can make greatness occur, it just needs a bit of nourishment after being thought...
 
What separates acclaim from an idea is work, exposure, & evolution...
 
....not always in that order....
 
Below are some great examples of hard work & dedication, dreams & desires, and time, talent & spirit....
 
Perhaps you have never had a dream that you've made sure wouldn't die, but I doubt it...
 
Maybe you aren't really striving towards any really important goals right now... & that's fine...
 
When the time DOES come to revisit those dreams & finally take a few steps closer to drawing the picture you want your life to be...
 
....to put into place the stories we want to be remembered for...
 
....to chose the colours we'll be known for painting inside, outside & around the lines with...
 
Some of the inspirations of which will help you build a foundation for the panelling which will hold YOUR plans may come from these bright, energetic, & creative folks below....
 
...whose visions in their dreams live on through their [not without sweat] works, floating, absorbable to many, like a breath released to frolic in the wild, & play on as their wind...
 
...probably also planting the seedlings which will continue the process again...
 
...the harvester becomes the harvest, & the world reaps the benefits...
 
Like many known to them, and the uncountable not, we enjoy their works, we thank them for their energy, & we stand VERY PROUD of them!!!.....
 
IMAGE COLLECTIONS is INDEED proud to support LOCAL ARTISTIC TALENTS, both successful and aspiring.... :o).

Daniel Wong Artist

Canadian Comic Book Creator

 

Daniel Wong Artist Graphic Designer draws at Image Collections comic store Mississauga Streetsville Celtic Shaman small

       Comic Illustrator, Digital Artist, Graphic Designer, Self-Publisher

-- Mississauga --

    Also known through his 'pen-name' of 'Oshouki', engineer turned full-time artist Daniel Wong's work has dazzled and amazed through its great detail and his versatile storytelling abilities...

Daniel is very driven, creative, and original in both his artistic nature, as well as with his pursuits, goals, and family.  He has built a solid resume since re-aquainting himself with his high school love for drawing and has made a splash in the comic industry worthy of being the 'Next Big Thing...'..

Co-creator of the fantasy-action series 'CELTIC SHAMAN', a member of the 'Spent Pencils' Art Conglomerate, and recent ASPEN COMICS cover artist, Daniel Wong is assuredly a name you will be hearing in comics for a long time to come....
