Daniel Innes (artist)

Daniel Innes is a Canadian artist, most noted for the 2023 book Denison Avenue. The book, a collaboration with writer Christina Wong, blends Wong's novella about an elderly Chinese Canadian widow navigating the rapidly changing Chinatown-Kensington district of Toronto, Ontario, with Innes's inked illustrations of scenes from the neighbourhoods.
The book was a shortlisted finalist for the 2024 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, and was defended by Naheed Nenshi in the 2024 edition of Canada Reads.
He has also worked in painting, installation art, graphic and textile design, sign painting, and tattooing and lives in both Kamikawa, Hyogo Japan, and Toronto, Ontario Canada.
