Manufacturer's description
Dennis McNett is visual liberation. An artist, a craftsman and most of all a visionary that cuts his own path through his life as well as his work. As far as we are concerned Dennis is a lifer with us and we are more than proud to offer our third collection with him for 2011. We are not looking for the next hot artist of the minute to collab with, we are looking for partners in crime who share the same passion for what they do that we do... they eat, live and bleed it and Dennis McNett is just that guy. Dennis McNett was born in 1972 and grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. He moved to New York in 2001. He has been carving the hell out of surly block prints for over 17 years. All of his encouragement as a young kid came from his blind grandfather, who told him over and over again that his drawings were good. Later influences came from the raw high-energy graphics pouring out of the 80’s skateboard and punk rock scene. Dennis has been fortunate enough to show work both nationally and internationally, design board graphics for Anti-Hero skateboards, design shoes for Vans, participate in the Deitch Artparade. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Juxtapoz magazine, Thrasher and Complex Magazine. He holds an MFA from Pratt Institute, where he now teaches as a printmaking professor at the graduate and undergraduate level. He wants to live until he dies. Check out his work at Howlingprint.com.
