The designers we work with are the heart and soul of the MVRK brand. They've been in and around the surf industry longer than most of us have been alive. We want to showcase their work in the shorts we make and you wear. Below you'll find a bit more about them, who they are and why they do what they do.

Kiel Tillman
Kiel’s illustration style consists of bold lines and intricate patterns mixed with organic textures, energetic brushwork, relaxed lettering and graphic elements.

I don't think you can go past a suit and boardies. It's like a mullet wrapped up in a dress code (business up top, party on the bottom).

In reality my style is probably more flexible and a bit all over the place, although it's heavily influenced by surf and maybe even street art to a point.

ABOUT
MVRK
Let’s do something a little different, a little maverick. Why not provide a platform – where ideas and designs could be shared, even turned into awesome apparel. And so it was born out of this idea, the MVRK Surf company was to become a reality.
