Who is D.L. Barry?
D.L. Barry came to work for Suede Publishing almost by accident. A friend of a friend of a friend... so on and so forth. We were in expansion mode and it was more luck than anything that he was hired at all as his portfolio consisted of his leaning in the hallway, telling us about all the great things he'd done. I asked him to draw something. That was how it started.
'We'll clean out a storage room'
It seemed like a no-brainer at the time - a fledgling branch of Suede Publishing specializing in graphics and creativity. D.L. had a flair for the unusual and we let him run with it. He didn't come back for the longest time and it seemed like we'd have to scrap the whole thing. Eventually he showed up carrying a box full of mostly empty liquor bottles (all with a wildlife theme), broken #2 pencils, and something he called 'The greatest thing he'd ever done.' That was Butt Dude and the rest is - confusing.
Awards
We're not sure how Butt Dude made it past management unchecked but rest assured, we'll pay more attention in the future.
D.L. attended an award ceremony at the art society during work hours, returning with this trophy. When asked about the bowler and outdated placard, D.L. mumbled something about 'budget constraints' before wandering away.
