Rendered in a thrilling retro style, Dave’s design features a karaoke bar where all the giant mecha-robots can kick back, drink some sake and sing some Journey tunes. The distinguished lounge lizards include: Voltron, Ultraman, Jet Jaguar, Manzinger Z & Mechagodzilla tending bar.

Dave maintains a very interesting read over at MontyGog.blogspot.com and a fine shop at Etsy.com/shop/hennchicks. Please check them out!

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.
