Artist: Dave Perillo
Dave Perillo was born in 1974, the same year Wham-O introduced the Slip N’ Slide…coincidence? In 1st grade, Dave revealed in his autobiography “Me Book”, that when he grew up he would like to be Ziggy.
This ambition was deflated by 2nd grade when he realized that
A) Ziggy is not real,
B) Ziggy is completely bald, and
C) Ziggy wears no pants.
While the thought of going throughout life sans pants was somewhat appealing he decided to pursue his second choice, a career in art. Dave draws inspiration for his work from many of the following sources: 1950’s Sci-Fi Movies, Charles Schultz, Jim Flora, Ray Harryhausen, Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Henson, Hanna Barbera, The Twilight Zone, Alfred Hitchcock & Character Advertising Icons.
Dave currently resides in the burbs of Philly, works as an illustrator, believes that bowling is the sport of kings and a bag of Swedish Fish is a seafood dinner.

What a cool concept guys- I love the first two designs released- I’m seriously asking myself if I can afford a tshirt a day! Awesome awesome! Best of luck… and hey- how about some female fits?
[Reply]
Kari, give them time :) They’re only 2 shirts in. I’m sure they’ll be able to add sizes when they have a bigger base. Oh and you should start tucking $10 away for shirts…. it’s addictive.
Congrats Montygog!

Yeah “asphalt” or “charcoal”. We are working on a way to make the colors much more obvious to you all. Thanks for all the feedback. Also, we are improving the ease of the zoom feature.
