NIKE CORTEZ WORKSHOP

The Killer Gerbil was invited by Nike to be part of Nike Cortez 40th Anniversary by creating an art piece through customizing the sneakers which will showcased soon along with 7 other local celebrities. Participants were invited to Singaporean sneakers customizer Mark Ong aka SBTG's workshop in which he share his customizing skills and help through the progress of individual custom.

Titled "Merantau", the term depict Minankabau (Indonesia) culture where the males of the family upon puberty will seek out new lands for life experience or fortune. Inspired by the culture, this custom also relate to my life as an artist working under The Killer Gerbil name for almost 10 years and the challenges faced as a graffiti artist in Singapore.

This custom encapsulates my signature style that I've perfected over the years and as Cortez is an inspiring shoe with many years of history, I too wish to celebrate my 40th as an artist 30 years in good times to come.

GEEZY

Finally the launch of the last colourway of the much hyped Nike Air Yeezy sneakers were released yesterday at Singapore's Nike Flagship Store at Wisma Atria. Sneakerheads and resellers queued hours ahead before doors were open for the balloting and only the lucky 50 will get their hands to purchase the Yeezy at retail. Some lucky people also get away with the limited Killer Gerbil X Nike Air Yeezy tees that were made specially for this event while everyone else were given free posters of the artwork by the end of the event.

Congratulations to those who got their hands on both the Yeezy and tees and just for the record, no I dont get a free Air Yeezy just because I did the artwork for Nike. Ok enjoy the flicks!

YEEZY JEEZY

Nike Singapore commissioned me to create a mural backdrop for the upcoming release of another colorway for the much hyped Air Yeezy that will launch sometimes mid May 2009 here in Singapore. The completed mural will be on display at Nike Wisma Atria Flagship store from 18 May onwards alongside The Killer Gerbil X Nike Air Yeezy tees. More updates in weeks to come.
