Mambo
-Study of culture and contemporary practice-In this essay I am going to talk about some of the main artists that work at Mambo, I am also going to tell you about the style that they use for their illustrations. Mambo is an Australian surf and street wear company, which comes under the communication, and product area of design. It was founded in 1984 by Dare Jennings, whose dream of an international design and fashion empire was born out of the simple belief that almost any idiot could make a few dollars by sticking a picture on the back of a T-shirt and selling it. Reg Mombassa is one of the more famous artists in the company as he was also in a Australian rock band called “Mental as Anything”. Reg is also a painter, writer, and poet, and he uses each of these skills in his cloths designs. Some other main very skilled, talented, and bizarre artists that do art work for the company are David McKay, Matthew Martin, Paul Worstead, Maria, Kozic, Jim Mitchell, Gerry Webb, Steve Bliss, Mark Falls, Robert Moore, Jeff Raglus, Marcelle Luman, and Bruce Goold. All but 3 of these artist were born in Australia which reflects in their work. Gerry Webb is the only one of these artists who is from Adelaide.
