Biography:

As a designer Daniel Perry has a complex practice that encompasses a wide range of disciplines including fine art, printmaking, design and illustration.  Having first studied at Central St.Martins College of Art, he followed this with a further two years study at the Royal College of Art where he combined illustration with painting under Professor Dan Fern. 

​Born in London, Perry left England whilst at the Royal College to visit Scandinavia.  What was intended to be an initial three day visit to Sweden extended to last for many years – the country and his experiences there and in neighbouring Denmark have deeply affected both the artist and his resulting practice. 

​Combining interests in both Fine and Commercial Art, Perry has worked in many visual disciplines. Whilst at the Royal College for instance he spent time in Berlin in ‘89 creating an artwork on the Berlin Wall. This led to an avid interest in the use of graffiti which then led him to spend time in Brooklyn, New York as well as Perm in Russia.  These interests have continued to the present day and influences of this can be seen in recent work, although he will now be the first to admit that with age, he is now very happy to settle on a second career curve of orchestrating rather than participating.

​As well as exhibiting and selling work nationally and internationally through the gallery system, Perry has also been engaged on many commercial projects – along with an established freelance graphic and illustration practice, he has created large scale murals, worked in theatre, designing and building sets, the alcohol industry and interior design for cruise ships.  As is witnessed on this website, this (as creative catalyst only) has been several years in development.  Studio Picture Cards is now the ongoing result having recently been rebranded.

Perry (aka Spink) currently lives and works just outside London.
