This mug is shaped like a pineapple (dash) with three cherries (dots) on the side. The three cherries and the pineapple spear represent the three dots and the dash for the Morse Code. With GI’s coming home from Europe and the Pacific at the end of World War II, Don The Beachcomber created the Three Dots to commemorate the Allied victory. The name of the drink comes from the Morse Code for the letter “V”. Designed by Shelby Allison & The Pizz.
Stephen Pizzurro aka The Pizz or El Pizzo, was one of the most notable artists of the American Lowbrow art movement. He was born into an Italian family in Orange County, California, and started drawing for alternative comic magazines in the 1980s. He had his first work published in Ed “Big Daddy” Roth’s Rat Fink Comix and also made stories for Scratchez #6 and Rip Off Comix #28. He is however best known for his cover designs for the punk label Sympathy for the Record Industry (Bad Religion, a.o.), and for his gallery work with artists like Robert Williams. His colorful art featured hot-rods, pin-ups, skateboarders, apocalyptic scenes, bikers, and other elements that characterize lowbrow art. The Pizz was a familiar appearance on art openings and events, and made several appearances on reality TV and in film documentaries. He committed suicide in August 2015 at the age of only 57. Before he took his life he sprayed the word “Ozymandias” on a hotel wall and took a photo, which he posted on Instagram. Ozymandias refers to Percy Bysshe Shelley’s poem of the name, about the impermanence of life.
