Doodling away night and day, Perry creates new typefaces and sundry graphics that inevitably evolve into his new work, exercising the great belief that the generating of piles is the sincerest form of creative process.

"The fact that he draws by hand contributes considerably to the authentic look of his design. They are perfectly imperfect..very detailed, playful and often extremely humorous, like Perry himself."
