Dean Johnson

Top rated icon TOP RATED

Dean Johnson studied Fine Arts at Columbia College Chicago, where he earned his Bachelor Degree. Since then, he has built Dean Johnson Art Studio into a business. He has completed numerous commissions, including promotional images for theater companies TUTA and Darknight Theatrical Productions; flyers and postcards for rock band Arch Visceral Parlor and DJ Elle Madelyn; and illustrations for author John Wawrzaszek.

For Dean, translating skills from one medium to another is a natural evolution. For example, his printmaking skills are built on a solid foundation of drawing. This is why he loves teaching artists new mediums -- once they know the basics, a new medium should come naturally. They just need someone to explain the new medium step-by-step, so that they can apply their pre-existing skill set to it. Dean loves to be that voice of experience.
