Q 4 So, are you tired?” I asked. “Hell no!” he answered, “I’m energized!” Enter, Denny Dent, an extremely charismatic in­ dividual who speaks almost as fast as he paints. Those who were able to attend BOP’s Clam Jam last Friday were captivated by a performer, a free spirit, and an artist. As the music of Bob Marley, U2, The Grateful Dead and Jimmi Hendrix perused the students and campus of Provi­ dence College, Denny Dent could Just be seen literally throwing himself, and some paint, onto a canvas.

Holding at least four paint brushes in each hand, and lis­ tening to the pulse of the music, Dent frantically painted. Before even two minutes had passed, an eye could be distinguished from the background, then a nose, a mouth and finally, before two songs had finished the crowds Find a job on the Web gasped in amazement and then cheered as they recognized that while they had been listening to Bob Marley’s music, Dent had been creating Bob Marley.

Music has always been an intrin­ sic part of Dent’s life. “As a child, music was always on 24 hours a day,” says Dent, “and since I can’t dance, I would paint.” It became his creative outlet. He insists that “we are all walking around in the dark with a plug looking for an outlet to plug into!” Well, Dent Links to free software found his and its 1,000 watts bright. http://www.att.com/college
