Maryland Institute College of Art

This graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design is a doer, maker, designer, illustrator, and author. His book Hand Job celebrates the life of hand-lettering in contemporary design. He worked on staff for Urban Outfitters and now runs his own studio in Brooklyn, NY. His work is featured in the exhibition Graphic Design: Now In Production. A frequent visitor to MICA’s GD MFA program, Perry says, “Process is very important. I have always believed in the generating of piles, and I look at the process of ‘making’ like exercise. The more you exercise the stronger you become. Needless to say I do a lot of making for its own sake.”
