RVCA COLLABORATION

The latest collaborative piece from RVCA's Artist Network Program is this special project fusing illustration, fabric patchwork & surfboard shaping/glassing. The piece includes the talents of Benjamin Jeanjean illustrating, the fabric patchwork of 'Sew ‘n Sing' all blended together by Blend Glassing to create a work of art on a RVCA surfboard. This project appealed so much to us as the three creative elements used in this project are core to the Ozmosis brand.

SKEETA

Ozmosis team rider Peter 'Skeeta' Derham just sent us this pic. He didn't say where or when it was but we're guessing somewhere in Victoria. Anyway he's getting barrelled and that's the main thing! Looks like its been shot on a GoPro. Those little cameras are amazing.

ZALMPY

Good friend of Ozmosis is Nich Zalmstra, the man behind 'Zalmpy'. We commissioned Zalmpy to create a reindeer decal for our Christmas windows just gone. Not only did our staff love the Ozmosis reindeer but some of our customers were seen taking photos with the reindeer in the windows. Anyway, that was then and this is now, Moostarshyo is the latest work coming out of the Zalmpy studio. As usual he doesn't disappoint and we are already looking forward to what comes out next.

BOARD AT NGV

If you're board at home this weekend then head in to the NGV in Melbourne and check out BOARD, a skateboarding culture and artwork exhibition drawn directly from the collection of former Kiwi pro skater Tony Hallam. The exhibition has a specific focus on the 1978 - 1983 period of intense creativity where the Dogtown slackers took skating into the pool, onto the ramp and in skate parks that hadn’t been previously imagined.

The exhibition is currently running at the NGV and finishes this Sunday, 5th Feb. For info click here.
