My horror TV pilot script, "Improper Dosage", aka THE BLEEDING SEASON, is now among the top finals in this year's CREATIVE WORLD AWARDS.

Yesterday marked my 48th spin around the sun, and I sincerely want to thank everyone who reached out with birthday wishes. It meant a lot to me.

I’ve been making some recent updates to the art gallery of my website, www.adammcdaniel.art. This includes a new section dedicated to my hand-drawn animation, design and storyboard work under t
