My name is Daniel Storm, and I am a starving car artist living in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

In the late eighty’s and early ninety’s, I was an illustrator working on projects for GM and Ford. I ran the illustration program at the GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri, my second year there. After a few years of marketing for McDonald’s, I worked for Ford as a regular employee at their St. Louis Assembly Plant in Hazelwood, Missouri.

When the plant closed in 2006, I took an “Educational Buyout” from Ford. I went back to school and obtained an Associates Degree in Illustration. I am now creating a body of work so I can have my own web site.

On my gallery here I have elected to post all of my school work, including my process work, followed by my car sketches, finished drawings and paintings.

In the spring of 2011 i was hired by Trader Joe's as a sign artist. I cannot say enough about Trader Joe’s. It is a wonderful place to work! My wife, Nancy, and i have been fans of Trader Joe’s for years, and i like them all the more now that i work for them. I can honestly say that i look forward to going into work every shift. It’s a high energy place full of friendly people of all kinds, and i really feel good about the products that they sell there. I am very lucky to work for them.

The Trader Joe's in Des Peres, Missouri, is looking for a part time Sign Artist. This position would involve working Sunday morning, and perhaps Monday morning as well. They are not exactly sure what hours need to be filled yet.

Trader Joe's is a wonderful place to work! They look for people with high energy and great personality. Trader Joe's is a unique grocery store that puts great emphasis on customer satisfaction. Everything about Trader Joe's revolves around the customer. The sign artist's role is customer communication through clear and fun signage that gives customers information about our products. We do this with our little sign tags using sharpie markers, on up to three foot by six foot signs using tempera paint like markers. [link]

Their phone number is 314-984-5051. You want to talk to Captain Dan Sawyer, or one of the other managers, to find out a good time to bring in a portfolio of your work for them to look at. They are located at 13343 Manchester Road in Des Peres, Missouri.

I work there now, and i can tell you it is a wonderful job! It is a grocery store, and that means you will be needed at times on the floor to do typical grocery store work. I can tell you that i look forward to working every shift, and enjoy my job very much! Wonderful people to work with!

How to make DA work for YOU! by ^kkart
:iconkkart: "How can I get my images seen on DA?", "How come no one ever comments on my work?", "Why doesn't anyone like my work", "How come no one fav's my work or watches me?".  These are the questions =kkart answers in his journal at this link... [link] . Great ideas and information from a guy who knows what he is talking about and who has been around the block a couple'a times. If you are new here or have been here a while and feel like you are going nowhere fast...then you need to read his article!

Hey! My wife is on DA! Nancy has her own DA account now! She is Storm52, :iconstorm52: and you can visit her by hitting this link... [link]
