Bio
Dean Assimakopoulos, better known as Dean Asimos, is a Graphic Designer and Illustrator who graduated from the American Academy of Art College. At a young age, Dean always loved to draw. During class, he would doodle on his notecards, creating characters and playing games he would make up on his notebook paper. For instance, he would draw a stick figure in the room and have him run an obstacle course that he, the creator, would design. With that, simple creativity opened a window for him to tell stories through his works. Because of this realization, Dean decided to become an Illustrator so that one day, he could pursue his dream of creating stories from his writings and drawings for others to see.

Artist Statement
When I was little, I was always so fixated on cartoons. When watching these drawings of characters dance around the screen, I became obsessed with them. The art styles, stories, lessons, and creativity really inspired me to make my own in my early years. It became a huge passion of mine, and one that I still put effort into today. These would be stepping stones that would help guide me on the career path that I pursue.
Designing is truly a privilege in my eyes. It really does go into anything & that is why, after graduating from the American Academy of Art College, I decided to go into Graphic Design. Because if there was one thing I appreciated about comics and cartoons, it is the choices in designs that really drive me to do the same in any shape or form.
