Dennis started drawing at the age of four, in Somerville, NJ. His father, a Colombian-American immigrant saw his son’s talent and immediately entered him in local contests. Dennis was happy to see his father so proud of him. Having grown up with Spanish as his first language in a predominantly white neighborhood, art was an ice breaker in his early days of education. In pre-school, instead of recess; Dennis preferred to fill post-it pads with sequential illustrations, staying in with his teacher so that she may add captions. Dennis didn’t know how to write yet and found this special time with his teacher very rewarding. Though this created a pattern of social avoidance, it’d eventually pay, flourishing in his very own “Doodle World”. Dennis very much enjoyed reading his older sisters Archie comics and in the 4th grade, he was thrilled to be collaborating with classmates in making their own comics called “Dangerous David”. Later he would be creating comics for his high school newspaper. In 2008, Dennis entered Tampa Bay’s Art Festival and won 1st Place in the field of character concept design. Later, Romero received his Bachelor’s in Fine Arts (Computer Animation Major) from IADT in 2009.
