Dennis Porter

Artist Dennis Porter has drawn well over 250,000 faces (and counting), entertaining with live quick-sketches at thousands of parties, trade shows and other functions in more than forty years as a professional caricature artist. Porter served honorably in the US Army and has worked as a newspaper reporter and editor; along the way he has written five books and a play, been a professional public speaker and failed miserably at standup comedy. A lightning fast, fun and upbeat caricature artist, Porter’s Quick-Sketches are much in demand as party entertainment, convention booth entertainment and trade show entertainment. His drawings have appeared on television, in newspapers, books and magazines. The artist has appeared on every television station in the Dayton area. In other TV efforts, he hosted “MEET THE KIDS,” drawing young patients at Children’s Medical Center. The show gave children facing tough issues a moment of fun and a chance to appear on TV. Another television venture was hosting “TALENT With Dennis Porter,” featuring gifted young performers demonstrating their skills in the arts. Porter said his wife Diane is the secret weapon in the success of their business. “A terrific partner! Diane is a genius at business issues, honestly — and I am NOT! She does all the hard stuff, I just draw,” the artist said.

BASIC RULES & SUGGESTIONS:

STRESS-FREE

Well, as much as possible, anyway. Why? A good reason indeed — one of the few things we know for certain about multiple sclerosis is this: stress makes it worse.

So the Patient must relax as much as possible in every sense of the word. Meditation may help. Here is a quick, simple technique that may be useful —

*Go into a private, quiet area

*Get comfortable as possible

*Deep slow breaths

*Calm your thoughts

*Repeat one word in your mind with each breath in and each breath out: One… One… One…

The word repetition will help your conscious mind let go of its
