Grayson Perry Grayson Perry, CBE (born 24 March 1960) is an English artist, known mainly for his ceramic vases and cross-dressing. Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as "Claire", his female alter-ego, often appear. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003. Early life[edit] Grayson Perry was born in Chelmsford. In his childhood Perry took an interest in drawing and building model aeroplanes, both of which were to become themes in his work.[3] To escape from a difficult family situation and his stepfather's violence, he retreated to his bedroom or his stepfather’s shed where he became absorbed in a fantasy life, sometimes involving a teddy bear (called Alan Measles) that had become a "surrogate father figure".[2] Cross-dressing[edit] Growing up, he had unusual sexual desires and fantasies. Career[edit] Textiles[edit] Media[edit]

» 15 Ridiculously Good Graphic Design Portfolios (Plus 1 Bonus) A couple of weeks ago I realized that I have become too engrossed in the whole social media and technology side of the design industry, so I have been on a wild quest to find inspiration. I have been searching high and low for work that is not only functional, but also a wonder of form. As an added bonus, I am finally happy to announce that I have finally launched my revised portfolio! As it currently stands there are a few items in need of some better descriptions or photography, however I plan on working out these issues over time. I look forward to any constructive criticism I may receive, and a special thanks to Alen of CSS Globe for his awesome JQuery Easy Slider. Anthony J. Updated again in February of 2012, I believe that my new website is even more interesting than it was in the past, so make sure to check out my latest work!
