Don't forget that the Lakeland Antique Mall will be hosting a meet & greet and signing by artist Dave Perillo on Saturday, November 7th, 2026.
You may know Dave and his artwork from his many appearances at Disney's "Festival of the Arts" and at the WonderGround Gallery at Disney Springs!
After teasing you this week, today is finally the day we can show everyone his latest creations, a pair of rides from Universal Studios "E.T Adventure" and "Back to the Future" the Ride. These prints are both limited editions that will be available at Dave's appearance at the Lakeland Antique Mall next month.
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.
He has done work for prestigious clients such as Disney Consumer Products, Disney Television Animation, Target, Warner Bros & CBS Television. He has had his work showcased in many galleries, including a recent solo exhibition at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles, CA.
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, believes that bowling is the sport of kings and a bag of Swedish Fish is a seafood dinner.
