Alan is an artist based in Buenos Aires, and a long-time friend of the Dudes Factory family.

For many years Alan and mcbess have shared a creative connection, working together on numerous projects, collaborations and art shows.

Rhys' distinctive visual language — inspired by vintage graphics, street culture, typography, traditional printing techniques and bold colour — has naturally become part of the wider Dudes Factory world.

Inspired by his adventures as a keen fisherman and surfer, Alan established The Dudes Outdoor Division — Marea (which means 'tide' in Spanish).

Alan's art and personality help define Marea's world of fishing, surfing, wild coastlines, road trips, outdoor cooking, wildlife and the exhilaration of hanging out with friends by the water.
