It’s like I have some inside track on all the stuff that hasn’t been “taught” out of her. It’s fun to talk art and design with her.

I can count on her to sit with me if I need a painting buddy. Do you have artists in your family? Have you noticed your children taking a strong interest in art?ĭaniel: My dad took a few art classes in college I believe, but he never pursued it. My dad was an artist, so I grew up surrounded by art. I see the ups and downs of Float almost everyday in my house in one way or another. Not just the innocence, but the honesty of their emotions. I do see a lot of my children’s way of looking at and experiencing the world make it into my stories. Couple that with the fact that children and marriage can be some of the most honest mirrors you’ll ever come across and you’ve got a free flowing fount of possible story fodder. I always like to say my best story ideas come from some sort of anxiety or character flaw that I have. My wife’s name is Lisa and we have two little children together. Has your family given you any ideas/inspiration for projects?ĭaniel: YES, absolutely my family gives me inspiration everyday. What are three words to describe yourself?ĭaniel: Ummmm…introvert, unorganized (or as I like to say intuitive), heartfelt.Īlia: I’m introverted too! Yay for introverts! 🙂ĭaniel: Yay! Let’s get together and feel anxious.Īlia: Q2. Really, it turned into a great conversation. I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know Daniel Miyares a bit and he was kind enough to let me interview him. When I started my blog, I knew I had to review it.

I picked up the small gray book, took some time to flip through the pages…and kept the story with me. You see, I had a ritual of familiarizing myself with the new crop every Tuesday excited to find a new favorite. I first discovered Float sitting on the new books table of my bookstore.
