Driven by LOVE
My name is Daniel Brown, and I'm currently incarcerated in a New York state correctional facility. I've been locked down for almost two decades. In the early years of my bid, correspondence between me and my youngest son Devyn, consisted of sending each other artwork through the mail. I thought it was awesome that we both like to draw. Looking forward to communicating with my son made coping with the harsh conditions of prison life more bearable. When my son was about the age of six I decided that I wanted to make a comic book he could help me with. After years of correspondence, character, and story development we came up with the character Yung Atom. Today, I still draw comics and my son does art too. Throughout the years, we both gotten better at our craft. Truth be told, I wanted to make a superhero that would inspire my sons in ways that I couldn't. Come to find out it was them that was inspiring me the whole time.
