Erik Otto (team edition 2009 design)
Born and raised in the South Bay Area, I pursued an education at San Jose State University, where I graduated with a BFA in Illustration in 2005
After graduation, I spent my summer exploring the islands of Hawaii. After my return, I packed my bags and headed north for San Francisco, where I currently reside with my cat, Patches, while my parents now spend their days in Arizona. I recently opened my doors for business with my new store front studio located in Downtown San Francisco. I frequent Arizona and New York, and I am inspired by the motion of the city and the stillness of open land.
Neil Stubbings (team edition 2008 design)
Neil likes heavy metal, raw meat, beer and lots of bling. Born 3 decades ago in Basel, Switzerland he now resides in downtown Zurich, Switzerland. After working as a regular graphicsman and following a job as Motion Designer, Neil now has his own studio and mostly creates moving images for Film and TV. For his Treeknowledge design, Neil remembered his roots in the skateboarding scene as a young teenager. The Design pays homage to the skateboard designs of the early 90s.
Jaybo aka Monk (team edition 2007 design)
In France, Jaybo aka Monk used to be a graffiti artist among other things, before he came to Berlin, Germany in the mid-80ies. In what was then West Berlin he advanced to rapper slash actor slash graphic clothing company („Irie Daily“) and a magazine („Style & The Family Tunes“). Today these two ventures remain successful enterprises, representing the spirit of post-unification Berlin as much as a cutting edge style in fashion and layout. Jaybo aka Monk has advanced again and meanwhile built a reputation as an artist, rooted in streetart but branching out to canvas work, moving images, installations, mixed media works and more. In 2006 he co-founded a creative agency („Spread Visuals“) and released his first monography at Die Gestalten Verlag, a 200plus pages book called „Lord Of Mess – My Head Is A Visual Township“. Jaybo aka Monk's work has been shown in various galleries and at various events in Berlin and Hamburg in Germany and at Sonar Festival in Barcelona, Spain. His artwork can be found on chart-topping albums by Berlin bands Beatsteaks and Seeed.
