I don’t want to give away too much, but Ive been working 12 hour days for the last 2 weeks solid to bring you some spectacular RISE offerings for Spring 09.
No promises yet, but here is a couple of shots of some rather nice jackets dropping into the collection next year.
Peace,
Ranui.
Well, enough said really.
This is what I call commitment. Mad props to Dan for the Micah 7/8 tatt!
Now I gotta catch up and get inked as well.
(Just as a disclaimer, we don’t actually encourage you to get inked with our theme verse, but we gotta give respect where it’s due!)
Keep Love Alive.

Ok, so before you freak out and think RISE has gone satanic on you in our latest collab, a bit of introduction is necessary.
RISE is collaborating with a fellow kiwi artist - Duane Moyle - to produce some super-limited edition tees. Duane is a fine arts graduate, based in London, and has some rather intriguing ideas on the perception of beauty in our image-saturated age. Duane’s latest collection of pieces juxtaposes a classical Renaissance/Pastoral aesthetic against a foreground of pop cultural 21st Century desire.
The logo on the front of the tee pictured below is actually his signature which he painstakingly paints on his pieces. The whole logo, imbued with seeming mystic symbolism, is nothing more than elaborate frame for his mirrored signature in the centre. The point of the signature logo is to make a statement on the way that we frame beauty in this age and attempt to pull meaning out of design because it is lavishly framed. The actual meaning of the logo is nothing more than an artists mark. It signifies what you will it to signify. In truth, as the reverse of the tee suggests, beauty (or perception) is indeed in the eye of the beholder, and it’s your perception that vilifies or glorifies this design.
Personally, I find Duane’s discipline singularly inspiring and well worth a look. If you want something customised for yourself then please feel free to contact him via his website - www.moylepainting.com - he would love to hear from you. If you want to see his work in the flesh, he will be holding an exhibition in a few weeks time, so go along and say RISE sent you.
These tees will be available online in about a month, to coincide with his gallery showing.
Peace from RISE.

As we at RISE are always playing with our business cards, and trying to make them more original…it was nice to come across a comprehensive list of 70 clever and original designs.
There are a load of different shapes…sizes…forms…
Obviously, the most important objective is to get the message across and in that respect some are definitely better than others. Nonetheless, it’s always a fun excercise to see how designers utilize a limited amount of space.
Have a look for yourself at Fubiz…
Here’s a few of my favourites…

Hey just thought Id post a shot of our “Frankenstein” colourway for the RISE x RTS collab tee. Printed in fluoro pink and a special batch of inks I mixed that both glows in the dark and also fluoresces yellow under black light.
This colourway is really limited - only a dozen tees.
