The PRIMER Microstudio is pleased to present a complete alphabet created by illustrator Dave Perillo for this March’s First Friday opening:

NOW YOU KNOW
A Most Unusual Alphabet

Opening Reception March 5th 2009 6pm-9pm
Show Runs March 5th – March 31st

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 and 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. Check out more of Dave’s work at http://montygog.blogspot.com.

If you can’t make it to the opening, the gallery is open during normal business hours (after hours by appt), and the exhibition will be on display all month long. We are easily accessible from Philadelphia via the R2 (station is a block from the gallery) and I-95. Stop by and help support the arts in Hatboro!
