All three words paint what Viralstyle has brought to the canvas of custom apparel marketing.

World-renown artist Gregory Siff has had a major influence in bringing those qualities to the Tampa tech startup. Siff's art surrounds workers at Viralstyle's offices in Channelside.

Siff's distinct blend of abstract, pop and street expression sits above Viralstyle's workforce. Siff provides street portraits of some of the world's most successful and imaginative figures in technology, business and social media. Siff's unique gallery of street portraits depicting Walt Disney (News - Alert), Steve Jobs and others decorate Viralstyle's walls and reminds staff the vision of the young company.

Viralstye brought Siff into its offices and Siff used the blank walls as his canvas. The result is an atmosphere of creativity that fills the workspace. Siff named the art for the Viralstyle office, "The New Progress."
