An Intro (By Daniel Himself)

Hi, I'm Daniel T. Gaming. I'm a Commentary / Essay content creator based in the United States. While I've had my channel since 2012, I didn't get any interest to create for it until 2016, doing videos on topics like Protegent, Discord, Bart Baker, Elsagate, Our Drawings, and so much more. And thanks to my inspirations, mainly which being Pyrocynical, I've been able to push forward with this content and keep it up to this very day.

After 4 years of running the channel, I reached what I thought would be an unobtainable goal, with 100,000 Subscribers on June 1st, 2020. It's something I'm very greatful for, and I want to keep creating, keep growing, and giving more of my output to the world.

What Made Me Get Into Creating?

Since childhood, I've been fascinated by the concept of art, creation, and other forms of external expressions. My earliest memories come from me watching TV shows like Blue's Clues, where I would be inspired by the Notebook drawings from the show & ask my parents for a notepad & pencil to draw what was in front of me. Anything from School playgrounds to pizza parlors I drew on these notepads, and I LOVED it.

I would discover YouTube well into Kindergarten, where I'd watch not only videos about SpongeBob & Super Mario & media of that nature, but also shows we never got in the U.S. like Art Attack & Mister Maker. My mind was pretty well-occupied by whatever these two shows would create.

I wouldn't get super interested in wanting to make YouTube videos themselves until around 2012, where I saw everything from gaming channels (PewDiePie, JackSepticEye, Markiplier), to parody channels (Key of Awesome, Bart Baker), to sketch comedy channels (Smosh, Ryan Higa, theDOMINICshow)

What Inspired The Store?

I was mainly inspired by the merch of some of my personal favorite artists / content creators, like Pyrocynical, Marques Brownlee, Billie Eilish, etc. It's clean, it embraces the name & brand, and we always make them at their proudest.

Everything you see on the store is 100% done by me, in-house, in the same bedroom, on the same computer used to make my creations with. I do my best to make sure that these designs & these products are of quality & not some sort of cheap grab made to market fans. I am proud of every single design that can be purchased and viewed through this store, and all of it is done with love for the fans and for my YouTube channel.

What Makes The Store Special?

What I think makes the store & the merch special is that it allows another platform for me to be creative visually, and it's a wonderful way for people to be able to support all of the content that I create on YouTube and for them to get something tangible and versatile as a result. I am seriously really happy with this store, and it fills me with joy knowing it's out there, and that my designs are on physical products people can actually order. It's something I'm very greatful for, and I can't wait to see where this store goes in the future.

Who Is Running This Store?

Althought I'm the one technically running the store, all of the orders & customer support is done by Fourthwall, the same platform that Marques Brownlee & Doctor Mike's stores are done in (as well as their Chief Creator Officer, YouTuber Philip DeFranco). The main thing that I do on this store is create the products, promote it, and also design the storefront.

Any Plans For The Future?

Just the usual stuff, just making even more products, perhaps making even better designs than before & getting better at my art skills. It's kind of the beauty of this store. It's basically a massive wearable canvas. I hope that fans enjoy searching through this store & finding interesting things as well as enjoy the products that I'm making on this store too. This has been a major chapter of my life for me to tackle, and I'm grateful for every single moment of it.
