About Dean Perry
Dean Perry was born in 1973, in Broadstairs, in a small close called 'Vincent Close' named after the infamous artist, Vincent Van Gogh. Within a few months, Dean discovered scrawling, which is a bit like graffiti, but still manages to adhere to the original artist's plan, anything that can be drawn on, is a blank canvas.
So, born in an artist named street (even though he didn't know it until in his twenties) and a doodler from birth, Dean set out on a quest to draw, no matter what.
Much like that geezer Einstein, Dean didn't talk until he was three years old, and grew up fast, both attributes that were detriments to how people looked upon him, 'slow', 'incapable', 'stupid' were all common to a small child, that lived with these names for an eternity. Seeing a child looking bigger than one's own can usually lead to a misconception that 'the bigger they are, the cleverer they should be'. Bigger and slower may have led to misconceptions, but at the age of six, an obsession grew to copy Mickey Mouse, from the back of a Christmas Cracker box, which led to a happy copying of Dean's favourite cartoons, mainly Warner Brothers. At school, Dean was asked to draw a card for Christopher Vaughn, who was ill in hospital, which was repayed when Dean was in hospital, by great artwork from Chris in return (who was also a budding child artist who could draw a bird or two!)
Art and drawing, being thicker and bolder and taller and uglier, continued for an eternity, but art above all encompassed the way for Dean, even almost to the detriment to other academical subjects, but that's GSCE's.
Even after encouragement from his own Mum to go to art college, Dean chose to get a career. Like his Dad. So he finished school to become a bricklayer. It's a trade! But in ... to be continued :)
