The Pop Art of Dave Perillo

The Pop Art Style continues
Trawling the many caverns and crevices around the net I stumbled across a site called montygog.blogspot.com. The site features the work of a 34 year old Philadelphia artist named Dave Perillo, a pop culture nut who has drawn inspiration from some of the most recognised cult creations of the moving picture age.
From fantasy stop motion guru Ray Harryhausen to grandiose cinematic lord Alfred Hitchcock, from Muppet man Jim Henson to the sci fi anthology of The Twilight Zone David has put his own unique stamp on recognizable characters, posters and other retro merchandise.
Personally I think David’s art bares some the marks of Genndy Tartakovsky creations like "Dexter’s Lab" and "Samurai Jack", this is a good thing. Simple designs, bold colours and strong lines make all his pictures easy to enjoy.
In turn, there is also something quite Charles M. Schulz (Charlie Brown) meets Hanna Barbera (Flintstones, Top Cat etc) about the graphics.
The end result is a sentimental nostalgic tone that forces me to share them with all you readers, hope that you like them. Please visit montygog.blogspot.com for loads more pics.
