I was watching the It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and it really put me in the Halloween spirit. Here's some pics of the pumpkins my wife and i carved up this year...
Did this as a commission, the idea was to spoof the "Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban" Sirius Black wanted poster, but with Elphaba (aka the Wicked Witch of the West) from the play/musical "Wicked" (based off the Wizard of Oz). Thought it kinda appropriate to post it with Halloween right around the corner...
Got some very exciting news, a little over a month ago i was asked to particpate in a artist series for Family Guy through a company called Acme Archives Direct. The artist series will be called Family Guy C.R.A.P. (A Collection of Rare Art Pieces). This is the second one they've done and features over 20 artists doing their interpretive art inspired by the show "Family Guy". The opening reception is Saturday October 18th and will he held at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery in LA. If ya live in the LA area you should check it out, it's a great gallery attached to a super cool store named Wacko. See flyer below for more info...
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.
