Music, Research, Snacks, and Drawing: An Interview with ICON11′s Secretary/Treasurer
Grace Danico is a Filipino-American illustrator and designer born and raised in Los Angeles. Her work has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators and American Illustration, and requested by clients like Ace Hotel, Everlane, Google, and Red Bull Music Academy. She also curates a regular Spotify playlist called Take Care.
What's your favorite memory from past ICON conferences?
I was a first-time attendee at ICON10 in Detroit, and some favorite memories were teaching a workshop on archiving, Ako Castuera's talk, and late night bowling with illustrator friends (old and new) at Garden Bowl.
Tell me about your practice!
I freelance as an illustrator and graphic designer. My practice involves music, research, snacks, and drawing of course! I enjoy experimenting in different styles while maintaining a playful and fun tone. A perfect day for me consists of waking up, answering emails, making coffee and breakfast, catching up on client work or working on personal projects, taking a lunch break and walking around my neighborhood, working a little bit more, then spending the rest of my time finishing work, then relaxing.
What is your studio/office space like?
I share my home office with my partner, and we share a long desk that occupies one side of our wall. My desk area has shelving that houses all of my favorite books, knick-knacks, and art supplies. Our office doubles as a guest room and music space. I DJ once a month and have turntables set up so I can practice. One of the best parts of our studio is the mountain view.
What's your hometown and where do you currently live?
My hometown is Los Angeles. I previously lived in San Francisco and Brooklyn, and have been back in LA for almost 5 years.
Who are some of your favorite emerging creatives?
I've been enjoying the work of Ariel Davis, Linda Liu, and Karen Hong.

I just finished editing together Issue 16! This issue is the longest issue to date, stacking up at around 278 pages. I've been at a really crazy point at my life finishing this issue, having just quit my full time job at VICE to pursue more freelance writing for them and a few art direction opportunities that recently came my way. I've lost a lot of sleep and lived like a hermit for the past five days trying to get this one done. But in the process of laboring over each page in the magazine I realized how much this issue truly changed my life. Traveling to LA and talking to Jesse Moynihan and Jacob Rubeck really opened up my eyes to how important patience and sacrifice are in making your best work. Then on the east coast, interviewing Caroline David and Jane Mai & Patrick Crotty of Peow Press helped teach me to take more risks and take my personal work more seriously, no matter what the audience on the other end expects. I would have never had the confidence to make the big changes in my life that I recently have without learning from all of you while making this issue, and I'm so excite to see where the magazine goes from here as I start to focus more of my energy on it. I'm also so so grateful for the beautiful new logo Michael DeForge worked on for the past few months, helping to ring in a new era of the magazine!
