Mouth Man is ready to Rock-N-roll
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2009 11:02 amHey Guys:
September 1st is going to mark the official launch of Ross Valory's Company...Mouth Man! You need to go check it out! If you've got kids, these shirts are the coolest things! They even have some sweatshirts that will helpd celebrate the Simpson's 20th anniversary....here's how the concept came to be:
One day, on a short break from touring, Ross was visiting friends in Arizona, sipping coffee and "just hanging out" ... as his friend's kids were tearing around the house doing something they referred to as the "JAWS"... According to Ross, the kids were running through the house in a single line..arms crossed one over the other , elbows
splayed out in front, and opening and closing in a chopping fashion... and making monster noises.
He thought it was cute, and didnt think much else of it.....
until another day... some 20 years later, when that very memory just arbitrarily "popped" into his head...
Ross "hugged himself" in the same fashion those kids did years ago, and thought..."hmmmm, it would be cool if
there was a shirt with a graphic on the sleeves that would form a face with a mouth that would open and close when
you put your arms together!"
That was the lightbulb moment for Ross Valory!
And the soon to be "Mouth Man" Enterprise was concieved.
He quickly called his friend and fellow Journey founding member Prairie Prince, an accomplished drummer who also
happened to be a world reknowned graphic artist!
Prairie's initial designs were remarkable custom airbrushed works of art...the concept-implemented perfectly.
In 2009 Mouth Man opened its satellite office in Pacheco, California. It is from this location that future dreams are unfolding as Mouth Man continues to surge into the exciting apparel industry-
