Rinzen

Rinzen is an Australian art and design company. It consists of 5 memebers who work collaboratively and individually to make their work.
I found them through these skateboard decks that they have designed. The top one is quite typical of a skateboard deck. The bright colours and detailed pattern consisting of symbols (Including skulls) can be seen on various skateboard decks.
The one underneath is less typical of a skateboard deck. The plain black and white colours are not often seen on many decks, especially with the overwhelming white colour. The patten is really intricate and interesting and is not symettrical or repeated.

Rinzen also design some fashion products like the one above. The shirt uses a really nice simple design of spots on stripes made from only 3 colours. This is much more like the repetetive pattern style of Marian Bantjes. I should definitely experiment with making these kinds of patterns.
