Dave Perillo was born in 1974, the same year Wham-O introduced the Slip N’ Slide. After graduating college with a degree in graphic design, he began working as a illustrator in the glamorous world of medical publishing. After countless drawings of dancing kidneys and otoscopes, he felt a need to feed his creative juices and began to create his own pop culture inspired art. This path launched him into a world of comic conventions, art galleries and freelance design.
