Dan Goldman (born 1974) is an American writer, artist and designer living in São Paulo, Brazil. He is best known for his pioneering work in digital mixed media illustration and online comics, and is a frequent speaker on both digital comic processes and online distribution.
Dan Goldman was born 1974 in Detroit, Michigan and raised in North Miami Beach, Florida.
Working with traditional media for most of his life, Goldman produced a single full-length brush-and-ink comic called Hairkut in 1999 before adopting digital processes in vector illustration and image editing in 2002 in order to create comics that blend the medium's narrative language with the design sensibilities more akin to magazine illustrations, album artwork and game design.
With his brother Steven he founded the boutique imprint FWDbooks in 2003 and self-published several titles, including Styx Taxi and Everyman: Be the People. Flying the banner "Manga con Corazón", FWDbooks' releases met with critical praise and distribution difficulties, caused in no small part by the comics distribution system of Diamond Comics. His jump to creating online was a direct result of this experience.
In 2006, Goldman was recruited by Dean Haspiel to help found the online comics anthology ACT-I-VATE. Originally a cabal of eight cartoonists serializing free online graphic novels, it was here Goldman began serializing his graphic novel Kelly, a psychedelic psychodrama about jilted lover Max who takes emotional refuge with a total stranger he meets on NYC's Craigslist that quickly becomes a meditation on identity, interior landscapes and love. Kelly stands as Goldman's initial jump from vector illustration to digital mixed media, incorporating photographic elements and painted effects into his clean line art.
