That’s the most common suggestion I get during my time travel journey is to buy things before they become valuable. Unfortunately, I don’t have any established bank accounts in the past and while I brought my wallet on the journey all the newly designed currency looked like counterfeits and were deemed worthless. Interestingly, while gathering photo reference of Benjamin Franklin I noticed I may have altered time when looking at the back of my $2. Check your wallets folks. Your currency may now be worthless. #apologies

Dan-1 was last seen in this photo taken in Tombstone, AZ (1880) gathering photo reference of cowboys. He is ever so careful not to disrupt history by being in disguise. #AreWeThereYet

Cleverly disguised as an art teacher in 1999, Dan-1 subtly persuades two young angst filled art students by the names of Dan Santat and @peterbrownstudio to pursue children’s publishing instead of animation. #AreWeThereYet #satire

In an effort to make sure the art of #AreWeThereYet goes smoothly all four Dans shall oversee the process. Dan-1 is going back in time to get adequate photo reference. A good time traveler always brings good coffee and snacks. Godspeed. #sriracha #coffee #selfie #artprocess #satire

It’s not easy to accept the fact that you screwed up 6 spreads of your new book because you were so tired in 2014-2015 that you sent the files to the publisher upside down. It’s even harder to have to travel back in time with three versions of your future self to explain it to you BEFORE you even made the book. #AreWeThereYet #satire
