Boston-based artist Drew Henry was born on August 8th 1976 in Somerville, Massachusetts and grew-up in what's known as "The South Shore", in a small town known as Cohasset, Ma. He is a graduate of Cohasset High School (CHS), a drop-out of The School Of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and an Alum of The Massachusetts College of Art and Design with his BFA in "Fine Art" (class of 2001). Drew Henry is the CEO/Owner of AvatarINK Studios. AvatarINK Studios is responsible for various artistic endeavors including, but not limited to; AvatarINK fantasy art (which has an online store on Zazzle.com), the online art magazine known as "The Boston Spectrum" (found on the art web site deviantART), and a graphic novel/video game concept called "Wicked" (also found on deviantART). Drew Henry is also known for being a prominent street artist in the Greater Boston area where he sells his artwork on what is known as "The Slab" on Newbury St. during the summer months. Drew Henry's work is described by himself as "A blending of anime and American comic book", and he is purely driven/inspired by music of the goth,punk,pop and industrial subcultures. His company name (AvatarINK) is derived from his personal belief that he is a deity descended upon the earth in physical form (the definition of an "Avatar") who's purpose is to bring color, inspiration, and love into the world via his unique art. He also describes himself as a physical manifestation of his very own existence in using the monicker "Drew". In his own words, "I create beauteous and wondrous works of art. Hence... I "drew" that.". And he links the word "INK" to his company name as he describes himself as, "being one with my art, hence the linking of the two words". Drew Henry is also of the belief that we are all "Avatars". In his own words, he states, "We are all Avatars, brought into this world to bring love and light. Some of us are facilitators of this, and some of us simply need to be reminded... I am a facilitator". James Tyeryar (talk) 18:18, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
