Daniëls studied Visual Arts at the Royal Atheneum Brussels in Jette.[4] He drew illustrations and cartoons for Brussels newspapers.[4]

In 1999, he founded Studio Max! alongside De Wulf.[4] They came up with the comic strip Stam en Pilou for the youth philately of the Belgian Post, which was released in album form in 2000.[4] In 2010, the 25th album in the series was released. In the same year, the studio was closed.[4] In 2011, this comic series got a comic strip wall in Brussels on Rue des Alexiens/Cellebroersstraat.[4]

In 2011, Daniëls drew a seven-part comic series on a scenario by Danny Verbiest about the Brussels painter and art dealer Geert Van Bruaene (1891-1964).[4]
