- Book Review,
by Danny Gregory
The Greenwich Citizen
This poignant journal about life after the accident is nothing short of inspiring.
Gotham Magazine
Gregory's eloquent tone and obvious devotion to his family and art convey extraordinary poise and humility.
Creative Loafing
At times heartbreaking, but more often uplifting... a must for anyone searching to reconnect with a lost inner artist.
Book Description
"Two years before I started drawing, my wife was run over by a subway train. Sounds really terrible, I know. But, well, this book is about how art and New York City saved my life." When Danny Gregory's wife was severely injured, his life was changed in an instant. Searching about for meaning for what had happened to his little family, he began to create a richly illustrated journal of his life. Gregory as driven to record and comment on every aspect of his life, from dirty dishes to cathedrals, from hospital wards to life-drawing classes, from brunch with Hell's Angels to book shopping at the Strand. This unique book chronicles his discovery of drawing, his wife's rehabilitation, his son's infancy, and the life of the city he loves. Funny, bittersweet, romantic, and perverse, Everyday Matters is an inspiration, an invitation to look for the beauty and significance in the details of our daily lives.
