Dexter Lumis on His Art Experience & Degree in Illustration
– During a recent interview with MCW Backstage Pass, Dexter Lumis discussed his experience and love of drawing. He also has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration. Lumis stated the following:
“My mother says I’ve been drawing since I was two years old. I used to watch Batman, Superman, and professional wrestling on TV, and when the action was over, it’s like I wanted more. So I was like, ‘Mom, draw me this, draw me that. Draw me Hulk Hogan, draw me Ultimate Warrior.’ If she got one detail wrong, I would call her out. She’s like, you do it. That’s how it started. She just started looking at my artwork and she’s like, ‘This kid’s two, three years old and he’s drawing better than me.’ That’s how it basically started, and we are today. I do a lot of commission artwork for fans, wrestlers, clients, companies, whatever.”
Dexter Lumis recently made his WWE return on Raw earlier this month.
