Collection: Dean Martin (The Mad Artist)

Dean Martin is a self-taught artist who has found success through trial and error. Despite not having any formal training, he has pursued portrait painting with great style and flair. In the beginning, Dean lacked confidence in promoting his work professionally and kept it as a relaxing hobby after a long day of hard work. However, as he became more comfortable with different mediums, he decided to create a series of London Gangster paintings. This turned out to be a turning point for him when Ronnie Richardson, wife of notorious gangster Charlie Richardson, noticed his talent and hosted his first exhibition. The event brought Dean into contact with some of Britain's most notorious figures and opened many doors for him. He received commissions and offers to create artwork for book covers as well. With the support of a Publisher, Dean is now working on the next chapter of his artistic journey with gratefulness and excitement.
