Dave Bowers graduated from Monash University (Caulfield) in 1986, with Diplomas in Graphic Design. Dave Bowers and his mate Nick Morris have worked together in the Street / Surf / Art subculture since creating clothing label �UMGAWA� in 1990. After selling the UMGAWA label, Bowers became a regular Mambo artist, as well as working as an illustrator and musician. Between them they have produced, and continue to produce, art for brands such as Paul Frank, Stussy, Mossimo, Lee, Globe, and St. Lenny. They were guest speakers at the prestigious Semi Permanent Art and Design conference �06 in Sydney and Perth. Their work was profiled in Desktop Magazine (Jan/Feb 07), and their painting �THE GAMBLER�, only the third canvas they ever painted together, featured on the cover. They are also profiled in King Brown magazine (issue No1). Their combined canvases at ART MELBOURNE 07 sold out in two days. This was the first time they had shown them in Melbourne. �Morris� and Bowers� canvases indicate that freshness is still possible in a culture exhausted by all sorts of visual bombardment.� Dr. Claudia Calirman, New York Museum of Fine Art
