Rowdy Warren

I first knew I was fascinated with drawing and art when I was about
3 or 4 and mum gave me my first pencil. It was like finding the key
to a whole new world. R. Warren.

Rowdy is as Rowdy does he is unto himself and creates art and

vision like none other. His influences are varied but always true,
strong and derivative of his vision and soulfulness.

Rowdy (Grant) Warren was born and raised in South Australia

calling Adelaide home since the 1970s. He was an interesting and
interested child, always imagining what if Conventional schooling
was not a good match for Rowdys original and spirited imagination
and he found he was better challenged outside of its restrictions.

He first came to be noticed around Adelaide as a member of a punk band and to promote their own gigs he
began to design the bands logos and posters. He discovered he had a real love of creating a visual statement
and began then to design logos for others.

Soon after Rowdy established his own street-wear brand and was totally immersed in a world of creativity,
presentation, design and expression. The brand is still commercially available, though not as part of Rowdys
portfolio.

His creative energies were vibrant, thirsty and always wanting more. He yearned to know more. His desires
would soon be satisfied when he met a group of indigenous artists from whom he both drew inspiration and
skills, and imparted contemporary skills. This was a great time of development and spiritual/artistic awakening
for Rowdy as he seemed to see the mesmerising Australian landscape for the first time.
