I love the professor and your videos. Thank you for this. I gave up prescription pain pills in June 2021 after a 14 year addiction. I threw myself into art, like you, it has saved me. I feel more connected to you now. Keep the videos coming. I’m from Mississippi, USA.

It is so brave and *generous* of you to share your story. Thank you for being vulnerable and open, for yourself and for your viewers - it may not feel like it, but it takes an incredible amount of strength to do so. Hearing the word "resilient" is probably really old at this point - I hope your future holds plenty of time to continue to rest and heal.

I love watching ur videos Dan, I just the love experiments u do, u r one of my favourite resin artists, I wished I had the courage to make videos, I have been wanting to do videos for a very long time, I can not bring myself to do them, I have brought stuff u have linked a few times, but still haven’t got round to trying to do them, thank u so much for ur videos, keep up the hard work, & more experiments ❤

Daniel, you are so loved and respected. It was extremely courageous of you to share your personal struggles and hopefully that will help release some of the demons that you still struggle with..🤞😘 Obviously Mrs. Cooper saw something in you that you couldn’t see in yourself at the time, that’s why it’s so important to share what you are going through, especially with your loved ones. You are a kind and generous man and deserve the 100K subs that you have earned and I believe as I hope you do that your channel will continue to grow. So many resin artists have upped their resin game because of YOU! So thank you for that and for continuing to keep us entertained as you go along, your giggle is contagious and we LOVE YOU!❤️❤️❤️

I appreciate you sharing your story. It’s a good reminder to all of us that you never know what someone else is dealing with so just be kind. It doesn’t cost a thing.

Daniel I follow you because you are you. I doubt any person watching you or any other crafter can say, “Well I am just super A OK. We all carry our demons every day, snd some days the load is lighter and some days very heavy. So keep on sharing and just be you. P.S a few drinks can be useful.

Keep up the good fight! You are an inspiration to more people than youll ever know.

Hi Daniel, congratulations on your progress you have made in this journey ❣️. I love all of your videos, so informative. Do not feel bad about this video, who knows how many people you may have helped talking about these issues. I was going to try and do a KZfaq channel, but I am really la king in the confidence department, not to mention the fact that I am so technologically challenged!!!🙄. Just want you to know how much I enjoy you🤗❣️

Just keep on going man. 👍

OK Daniel!!! I have always watched you on KZfaq on my TV and no way to comment there but I just had to comment this time. So I switched to my phone so I could come on here and tell you how amazing you are! I remember watching some of your first clips on FB and how you became the “one” to watch for amazing resin and alcohol ink techniques. You have and continue to be an inspiration and I have always loved watching your clips, full videos and photos you’ve posted. Thank you for all you do and share with us!!!! 🎉❤ Congratulations on 100K!!!! You deserve it! PS I’m three years sober this month and although everyone’s journey is unique we share a lot of common history and struggles as do so many. So proud of you!

Hey Daniel, I'm happy you took the initiative to better your life. I'm so, proud you continued the journey and to be real, open and so honest. I'm sending love, light and laughter to you. Thank you for your creativity and sharing with the world 🌎

Congratulations Daniel! I loved hearing your story I too have a similar story/ background so I do understand and respect you so much more so congrats on 100k, recovery and overcoming so much

** Big tight, long and awkward hug!! ❤

These are stunning! And, congratulations on hitting 100K and for 18 months of sobriety!🎉❤

I'm so glad you continued on with your resin journey, and thank you for bringing us along for the ride.💙

Congratulations on reaching 100K! Not surprising at all though because you are a master of resin craft to a lot of people, including me! Congratulations also on the sobriety, not an easy road for sure

What a journey. Congratulations!! I'm an artist who's dealing with PTSD and depression. Art is saving me. I'm proud that you decided to speak your truth and tell your story. because it tears down sigmas - one story at a time. Bravo!!!!❤

Please let me start by congratulating you on hitting 100k awesome job.. thank you so much for sharing your story through your triumphs and tragedies you are a true soldier. I myself used resin art as an escape, I used resin art as a way to kibd of leave my reality of the fact I was very slowly loosing my husband to his kidney failure. I used it as an escape but one where I could also be present ( if that makes any sense). Over time I grew to enjoy resin and I look forward to your videos and learning new things. And I now resin on an almost constant basis. Thank you due being the soldier you are and thank you for being a great teacher but most of all thank you for being you

Proud of you Mr Cooper 🤩 I totally understand how hard it is to talk about these things, you and your work are amazing and it would be nice to see the professor now and again. ❤️

Daniel, you are an amazing man and thank you for telling your story. I have been down your same road and art has been my saving grace. I was drinking a liter of vodka a night to before I hit bottom and almost died. Now instead of picking up a bottle, I go outside to my office\studio that I made from my husband's old garage and pick up some paint or some resin and whatever worries or stress I'm having just seem to go away. The problem I have now is I totally lose all track of time. I'll glance at the clock and see it's 8:00 pm and then the next time I look it's 3:00 am! Your work is awesome and I love trying make whatever you come up with. I wish I could show you the piece I made after watching you try to recreate your galaxy piece. I think I got really close. I hope it doesn't mess with the algorithms, but I'm constantly pausing and rewinding your videos to make sure I don't miss any steps 😅 Keep up the good work and continuing to be the inspiration that you are. I believe in you and that's why yours is the only channel that I pay to support. I can't wait to see what you do between now and 200,000!❤🎉👏🥳

I am in awe of your journey! I too have found art is therapeutic and soothing. Your videos are so inspiring but I can not imagine what it took for you to share your experience with so many of us. I hope you know that there is a huge support group out there. Thank you.

Daniel, I cannot understand why anyone would have a hateful comment to you. Makes no sense. You do amazing things. Your journey is tremendous and you are appreciated and talented. I look forward to your videos always. So innovative. I always am awed. Thanks for doing what you do.

What a beautiful transparency. That totally looks like fire agate!!

Congratulations Daniel ❤❤❤❤❤ I appreciate you sharing your journey with us. 😊

Thanks!

OMg Daniel you real life resin GOD thank you. I am use this hack tonite when I do my first project but it's with UV resin.

We sing the same song. It's so hard. I'm so proud of you for telling your story ❤ And for making it to 100k 🎉 You deserve every single one of us. Thank you for sharing your story and your gift. Karma is real!

Congratulations Daniel ❤️

Thank you for sharing. ❤

Daniel you don’t have to explain yourself we’re with you no matter what,but everyone needs to talk thank you so much for sharing ❤ you are so inspiring I I thank you so much for your mad professor experiments ❤

Thank you so very much for opening your heart to us all and for sharing your journey. Judging from the comments, many have had and are still struggling with their position in life, myself included. I don’t mean to make this about me but you’re given so much inspiration to others and you have really struck a chord with me personally also. You mentioned that some have stated that they are hesitant about starting their own resin art channel because of the very hateful people out there and I’m one of them but I won’t be letting that stop me. You’ve given a huge amount of encouragement. Especially given the start of your KZfaq journey, starting with little equipment or knowledge of how to do it. I wasn’t there at the start of your journey but so glad to have found you when I did. Resin art or any form of art is great therapy and a great way to deal with life’s challenges but it’s a great way of releasing the stress life throws at you. Much love and respect for you good bloke.😎💖

Congratulations Daniel for coming so far. Your unique art made you so amazing 😊. When I started my channel it was silent videos for me I didn't even had the courage to speak you are very brave. Many many congratulations ❤❤❤

On the lighter side his farts are harmful to the environment.He should take a long walk off a short pier 😅

Thank you for being you...the other day I was looking for wedding rings ( my husband to be isn't good at that sort of thing 😁) but I just couldn't find anything beautiful enough, that would be unique like him and I...then I thought about you and how you make the most brilliant and majestic pieces... I myself do not care if a stone or gem is real because what I think matters the most is how some can recreate and capture the beauty. You capture the beauty and I am always blown away seeing your finished pieces. Always. Thank you. I hope your journey keeps being filled with love and more healing. Bless your soul.

Daniel, thank you so much for sharing your journey. Your story wasn't depressing at all. It shows us you are a real person, and I'm sure it wasn't easy to put your story out there. Your journey is not that different from my own. Congratulations on hitting 100k. ❤❤❤🎉

Daniel I am glad you have continued going forward and not let others bring you down as I subscribe to a number of channels and most of them have had nasty comments when getting started and have wanted to stop because of them 🥺Thank you for sharing in your journey 👍 Please stay positive as there are far more people that love your channel than dislike it. You do some amazing crafts🤩🥰
