Early life
Ian Dennis was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire.[2]
YouTube
While living at a youth hostel, Dennis began making art videos using a variety of materials - including coffee, toothpaste, junk mail, jams, and soil.[2]
Dennis then began making videos as "Fox Bronte," a character based on the stereotypical "mad artist." Using humour and a surreal editing style, his channel quickly grew in both popularity and controversy, with Fox Bronte regularly taking his clothes off to create.[3] Other videos included him using his penis, his vomit, and condoms. In January 2010, he drank different coloured juices to change the colour of his urine - to create a portrait of British National Party leader Nick Griffin.
Ian Dennis's latest channel "monalisanaked" follows on from his previous work. His videos attract a cult audience to the website.[4]
Other works
In 2012, Dennis set up a prank appearance on Britain's Got Talent. As Fox Bronte he painted the hosts, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly on his buttocks.[5]
