OBEY TATTOOS – EPISODE 3 featuring Ginger Boy

Ryan Hawaii is a multidisciplinary artist from Catford, South East London, known for his work in fashion, visual art, and music. His work is defined by bold, hand-painted designs that blend punk aesthetics with personal and spiritual narratives.He began by customizing T-shirts for performances with his music collective Neverland Clan, which quickly evolved into a wider practice of fashion design, painting, and music production. His clothing pieces are often one-of-a-kind, featuring expressive illustrations and text that challenge societal norms and encourage self-expression.  His garments are often created bespoke for the wearer & some notable collaborators include: Kanye West, Skepta, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Gorillaz, Goldlink, Poppy Ajudah, Lancey, Ray Fuego & Virgil Abloh amongst others. For Ryan, garments are not simply fashion items but wearable artworks, with the wearer completing the piece by bringing it into the world. His cross-disciplinary approach continues to push boundaries, staying true to his DIY ethos that connects with a broad and diverse community.This spirit made a collaboration with OBEY a natural fit. Ryan will present a solo exhibition at the OBEY Art Space in Amsterdam, where he will showcase both fine art and one-of-a-kind OBEY pieces, including exclusive screen-printed tees available only at the Amsterdam flagship store. Through this body of work, Ryan explores spirituality by transforming complex ideas into simple, universal symbols. These symbols, alongside “Eyeman,” a recurring character central to his practice, run throughout the collection, embodying his ongoing search for meaning and connection.Exhibition: Oct 10 – Oct 31Opening event: Oct 10 6 – 10 pmOBEY Art SpaceRunstraat 25, Amsterdam

Last year when I met the crew at OBEY and we had our first meeting about me doing a campaign for Fall 2025, Delivery 2. The main question was, what do you want to shoot? The idea of being free and open to create is the most empowering feeling. We decided to hit the road and explore California blindly and that's what we roped ourselves into again. It's is all new clothes, models, locations and feeling but one thing stayed constant and that was the amazing crew that helped put this together. Take a ride through California with us through the vast mountains to the ranches of the low desert and all in-between. - Gem Hale for OBEY ClothingFall 25 Delivery Two

We’ve had the privilege of working with Cristian Bravo before and his perspective always brings something unexpected. This campaign follows his return to the desert, where past and present come into focus through the lens of his camera.“In 2010 the idea of living inside of the films i grew up watching remained inaccessible behind the glass of my tv screen. A screen similar to the one of my first ever camera, who at the time was just part of my cellphone, completely invisible to me until the second I landed in Las Vegas with my father, at 18 years of age. That was my first time flying internationally over the Pacific Ocean, something I’d never imagine possible outside of a dream. 15 years later I return to Las Vegas through the desert with Andrey, Rob, India, and Ron in March 2025 to continue this photographic exploration. A suitcase full of cameras and film stands by my side and my business card says "Photography by Cristian Bravo.”- Cristian Bravo@la_melancoliaOBEY Fall ’25 Collection launches August, 13th

We’re opening our doors at OBEY Art Space Berlin for ‘TRUE FEELINGS’, a group photo exhibition.   Art is a reflection of the human experience, shaped by memory, influence, and emotion.   For most artists, this emotional landscape becomes the foundation of their creative process. With this project, we aim to uncover the emotional layer behind the work and to understand how inner feelings are transformed into visual expression. Through their lens, we not only explore artistic process, but gain deeper insight into what it means to be human.   Introducing the artists:Sarah Zak worked as a professional hair and make-up artist, where she helped shape the polished, idealized images demanded by brands and media; beautiful, but often artificial, and ultimately in service of selling products. Over time, she realized her true desire was not to create beauty, but to show the kind of beauty that already exists. “I wanted to share my creativity freely,” Sarah explains. “Not just follow instructions, but capture beauty in an unfiltered way. That’s when I picked up an analog camera.” She began photographing the women around her; agency models, long-time friends, and even strangers she met on the street. Always with the same goal: to create a space where they could feel safe, comfortable, and seen as their true selves. Shot entirely on 35mm film, Sarah’s work is a celebration of realness and raw emotion. Her portraits are an ode to imperfection, filled with natural encounters and honest expressions. There’s no heavy editing, no forced posing, just a vibrant, fine art photography style that feels both personal and powerful. In a world dominated by filtered feeds and performative perfection, Sarah Zak’s images offer something rare: a visual relief.  Hannes Gade began his creative journey in design, later working as an art director in the fashion industry.  But over time, he felt the need to channel his eye for aesthetics and composition in a more personal, artistic direction which lead him to photography. Today, his work spans fashion, portraiture, and editorial, marked by a distinctive and refined visual style. Hannes’ visual language is clear and deliberate, often carrying a quiet intensity. Inspired in part by the structure and symbolism of ancient Greece, his compositions reflect a sense of formality and timelessness, whether for editorial commissions or personal artistic projects. What sets him apart is his ability to create authentic, intimate staging through close collaboration with his models. His photographs don’t just present people, they evoke connection.  Miriam Marlene is a Berlin-born photographer who conjures a visual world where fantasy and reality seamlessly intertwine. Her captivating images glow with a hazy, nostalgic glamour, drawing the viewer into a space shaped more by imagination than by lived experience.  Rather than documenting reality, Miriam builds her narratives from dreamlike fragments, where distorted fairytales, mythic elements, and surreal moods come together to form a rich, cinematic atmosphere. Her work evokes intimacy, sisterhood, unspoken bonds, and ritual, offering a glimpse into a world both mysterious and deeply personal.   Daan Dam does photography at its purest, capturing real connections, confronting situations and society's imperfections in cities, mostly Berlin- the city he is based in- and everywhere his travels take him.  What began on blurry nights out; using photography to piece together memories, has since evolved into his main mode of expression. A key strength of Daan’s work lies in his ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether it’s a chance encounter on the street or a studio shoot with a prominent cultural figure, his images are always grounded in authentic interaction. His personal work explores themes such as social inequality, inclusivity, and human vulnerability, yet his photos can be straight-up funny. This spirit carries through even in his more structured studio work, where he balances depth with levity. Recently, Daan has begun experimenting with new ways of bringing his images into the world, translating captured moments onto unconventional surfaces like concrete, breaking beyond the limits of print and canvas to explore texture, space, and permanence. @sarah_likesprettygirls @hanneshrg @miriam_marlene@daantjedamage  Opening reception: Friday, August 8th, 6–10 PM On view on weekdays until August 15th, 2–6 PM  OBEY ART SPACE BERLIN Inselstrasse 13, 10179 Berlin  Flyer by: @yourichapelle
