Dennis McNett was born in 1972 and grew up in Virginia Beach, VA. He moved to New York in 2001 (3 weeks before Sept.11th) and has lived there since. He has been carving the hell out of surly block prints for over 16 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. Like a billion other teenaged kids, later influences came from the raw high-energy images pouring out of the 80's skateboard scene. Dennis has been fortunate enough to have designed board graphics for Anti-Hero skateboards and collaborate with Cannonball Press. He works from his Brooklyn studio that over looks the smoggy Brooklyn Queens Expressway. He holds an MFA from Pratt Institute, where he teaches as a visiting instructor at the graduate and undergraduate level. He has also taught at Parsons, Rutgers and the Lower Eastside Print shop. He wants to live until he dies. Breathing is good.
