Dean Russo T Shirts
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Dean Russo draws inspiration from his urban surroundings, his dog artwork was insprired by his two cocker spaniels - he has a true passion for dogs and portrays this in his unique artwork known for its brilliant colors and bold abstract designs of mesmerizing shapes and symbols. To create these one of a kind images he uses a minimum of ten mediums per painting including pastels, ink, oils, pencils, wax, charcoal and spray paint.
�I used to paint portraits of rock icons and Hollywood stars for so many years with my dogs by my side. Till one day I thought, why not paint my two favorite subjects� says Russo. Initially inspired by his two cocker spaniels, Dean began working with rescue centers to raise awareness and donate his work.
Dean strives to communicate a message that encourages people to choose adoption, to acknowledge the world-wide failure of breed specific legislation and to combat dog fighting around the world. �When a child sees, hears and acts upon my message, I feel successful. Anytime someone puts a message of love or respect towards people or animals into the universe it builds like a ripple. I hope I live long enough to see my ripples come back to me. That will make me smile.�
