Meet Dale!

Dale is an Australian graphic designer and the mastermind behind the June Club design, El Scorpio.

Knobby gives its customers the power to be their most confident self and through his art, Dale has created a strong and dark design that demands to be taken seriously and is absolutely no nonsense. The design has you covered in scorpions and chains so when you wear a pair of El Scorpio, you can guarantee that you aren't going to be fucked with today.

Dale gives everyone the power to be their most confident self.

In this blog post we introduce you to Dale, explore his career, his influences, his love for Knobby, and a whole lot more!

When did you first start designing?

I studied graphic design in 2003, I dropped out in 2004 and then the rest is history, I've worked in print shops, ad agencies, and freelance ever since then!

Who or what influences your artwork?

I have never really held one person more influential then the next, how ever skateboarding, punk music, tattoo art and the alternative culture definitely shapes and inspires my art the very most above all

Black & White or Colour?

These days, either or. But the true OG followers of my art will know I was black and white till forever!

What is your favourite Knobby design and why?

It’s gotta be the “ Bad to the Bone” design that I worked on. Not just because I designed it, but it was the first design I got to work on that landed on underwear and its such a strong bad ass design on all pieces……says me!!! 

Are you a Trunk, Long Leg or Brief man?

I actually was for the longest time a trunk only guy. But the long leg is good for on those long motorbike rides and the briefs are rad for summer at the beach, forget your regular swimwear brands!

If you could design anything else for Knobby - what theme would you choose?

The Knobby selection is so huge that its always going to be a challenge to come up with something fresh and original, but I think something that has some Hot Rod / Custom Car / Motorcycle vibe to it would be sick!

What it it about Knobby that you love?

I love the team, never have I worked with a crew that’s so chill and professional! I also love how fun the brand is, it’s the standard for what great quality can be with out having to break the bank! Props to Rob and his vision!

If you were a scorpion - what substance would you release from your stinger?

This question surely is illegal in some states….hahah ummmm ill go with something acidic, seems to be the most effective, not that I have experience with that stuff

Scorpion vs Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat - who's winning?

Scorpion hands down, ice thaws out eventually, doesn’t seem scary. A chain with a spike through the throat, that seems intense!!

How much money would it take for you to eat the scorpion at the bottom of a Tequila bottle?

Not much at all honestly... im curious by nature, so id give it ago, so long as its safe enough.

You can only choose one sweet melody from The Scorpions. Are you choosing 'Rock you like a Hurricane' or 'Wind of Change?'

Holy shit….thats who sings those songs hahah, I didn’t realise that was the band. ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE……..the energy is right! I vision myself walking out to that when I start my boxing career! That I don’t intend on starting!!
