Dent died in 2004. From his obituary:
Dent’s mother was a painter of limited means. Dent, who was born in Oakland, Calif., told some reporters that he grew up on welfare and spent the first part of his adulthood in what he called “that mire of drugs and alcohol and the rest of it.”
His epiphany came at a vigil commemorating the death of Beatle John Lennon, when Dent impulsively painted a rapid-fire portrait of Lennon on the spot. He began performing in the early 1980s, mostly at colleges and universities where students loved his unique combination of loud music, frantic painting and abstract expressionist portraits of rock singers and movie stars.
