Dumperfoo is a live artist, event promoter and community leader from Tempe, Arizona. Bridging the gap between music and art with a paint brush as his instrument to create life on a canvas. That is a fair description of this modern day “Renaissance Man”. Live Art By Dumper: If your eyes are open I’m sure you have seen this phrase on hundreds of flyers throughout the US for concerts, festivals and various clubs. You may have wondered, “What’s a Dumper?” and “What kind of live art does Dumper do?” After many years of finding his place in the art community Dumper has pioneered a live progressive style of art. He has taken his art from inside a paint stained studio onto the stage of a live venue where people can experience everything from the first sketch on a blank canvas to him signing his name on a completed work of art.
Dumper is also the promoter of Arizona’s longest running hip hop weekly “The Blunt Club” and catch him there every Thursday night creating mind blowing pieces of art live on stage. As if this didnt keep him busy enough, he also tours with three different bands (Drunken Immortals, The Insects, and Crusher Sound System) doing show after show, city after city, exposing new fans to his craft.
