Mike Perry (BFA '03) returns to MCAD with a show inspired by memory, place, and the nature of the mind. Perry works in Brooklyn, New York, as a book author, magazine publisher, illustrator, fashion designer, painter, and teacher. His first book, Hand Job: A Catalog of Type, appeared in 2006. His second book, Over & Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns, came out in fall 2009. In 2007 he started Untitled, a magazine that explores his interests in arts and design. He has worked with clients from The New York Times Magazine, Dwell, Microsoft Zune, Urban Outfitters, eMusic, and Zoo York. In 2004, Step Magazine named him one of the “30 under 30,” in 2007 Computer Arts Projects Magazine named him a groundbreaking illustrator, and in 2008 he received Print Magazine’s New Visual Artist award. The Art Directors Club also designated him one of the "Young Guns.”
