In my own words

— Silvio

I am an Italian-American illustrator from New Jersey.

Since 2012 I have been designing graphic apparel, show/festival flyers, album artwork, packaging design, and more.

While attending the School of Visual Arts in New York City, I co-founded a limited-run lifestyle clothing brand inspired by local alternative music. I was the sole designer. We sold our clothing online and at countless punk/hardcore shows, festivals, and charity events. This venture embedded in me a passion for graphic apparel design, branding, teamwork, customer service, and a DIY ethos.

In 2019 I launched Silvio's Pizzeria, an online shop full of graphic apparel, accessories, and various hard/home goods. This is my personal brand inspired by sub/couterculture fashion & ethos from anywhere between the 60s through the 90s. I am able to express my personal art style and vision through this brand, as well as collaborate with other brands/artists.

I now reside in Southern California.
