Darbotz' nike flywire installation (3 Comments)

Nike Flywire Technology is a revolutionary lightweight support system that redefines footwear construction. By shaving off weight and adding strength, it allows athletes to be lighter on their feet and faster on the court.

For the launch in Jakarta, Indonesia, designer/graffiti artist Darbotz has been given a chance to make an installation based on Flywire Technology.

"...The Flywire concept inspires me to create an installation about the flowing movement of the shoes. The explosion shows the strength of the shoes, and their lightness is represented by feelings of blaze, brightness, luminescence, radiance, and emptiness. That has made it possible to express fathomless and fluid movement.

I have presented this idea using a wood structure, wires, and dynamic movement of spray paint, which represents my signature style..."

Katanya WADEZIG! mendapat penghargaan THE MOST INNOVATIVE INDUSTRY or something lah, trus ada beberapa booth dari brand2 lain yang juga dapet penghargaan, misalnya booth yang paling keren lah, paling banyak dikunjungi, atau yang penjualannya paling banyak lah, dll. terus terang saya ga ngerti sih, "industri paling inovatif/kreatif" itu maksutnya apa. WADEZIG! paling kreatif? aahh pasti nyela nih panitianya, mentang2 saya ga punya tim kreatif! huhuhuh. ada yang berminat jadi tim kreatifnya WADEZIG! ga? saya masih buka lowongan nih :D
atau saya yang salah info ya? mudah2an tar ada keterangan resminya di website KICK. pokoknya gitu de. yang jelas, kalo emang menang, ya alhamdulillah, big applause buat Nova, Yanti, Tina, Omat dan pasukan official WADEZIG! lainnya kalo begitu. mereka yang menang.

Kalo buat saya pribadi, foto dibawah ini jauh lebih menghibur. Liat deh logonya, canggi yak? hihihih. saya foto pas acara Kickfest kmaren. twist logo-nya WADEZIG!, cuman kurang satu gitu twistnya. trus tambahin nama brandnya, "EKSRAY". WTF? plesetannya x-ray ya? tadinya mo saya ajak kenalan trus poto bareng, cuman setelah dipikir2, dia cuman end-user, bukan dia yang ngebajak. jadi buat mas2 atau mba2 yang merasa telah membajak logo WADEZIG! ini, silakan kontak saya, tar saya ajak ngopi2 bareng de hihihih.

anyway, selain produk bajakan yang berseliweran dimana2 ini, saya juga nemu banyak banget produk2 keren. shock juga pas ngeliat brand2 lokal barang2nya canggi2 juga loh. eh sbenernya mungkin biasa aja si, sayanya aja kali yang gapernah melihat dunia luar. tapi emang keren2 sih. jadi ikut2an blanja2 gitu. beli kaos AIRPLANE dua biji.

kalo mo liat foto2 lainnya, silakan buka FLICKR nya WADEZIG! di sini.

WADEZIG! X THUNDERPANDA SERIES (3 Comments)

WADEZIG! ARTISTS SERIES presents Eric Wiryanata a.k.a THUNDERPANDA, a young local talented artist from Bandung. 10 selected artworks on our tees are ready to make you feel like you never seen a t-shirt before. check the preview at the bottom of this post.

well I'm not good at writing short bio, specially when it comes to "famous people" hahah, so i'll just leave you with the following interview, or you might wanna check his personal site at www.thunderpanda.com or go to DEATHROCKSTAR.INFO.

A bit about yourself/background information?
I was raised in a loving family in Jakarta.

What's your average day like?
I wake up around 7, watering the plant, fixed breakfast, and go to my daily office. Later at night I gamble with my housemate.

What is it that your work communicates? What are some specific messages you are trying to share with your fellow citizens?
You should try to read it between the lines, sometimes I just simply doodle them without trying to send any specific messages. It's all coming from the imagination and inspiring objects surrounds.

have you been to art school?
no.

Do you consider yourself an artist? why?
Because it's the only way i could sell my works, people only buying arts from artists. :)

what makes you different from other artists?
I'm not trying to be different. i'm just another lame illustrator coming from the bin. but still i believe my works are loveable.

whats your favourite medium?
water marker on paper. but currently I love my Pen and Tablets. :)

If there had to be a soundtrack to your art, what/ who would it be?
Mates of States - My Only Offer
Sally Shapiro - Jacky Jacky (spend the winter with me)
Pavement - Shady Lane
Jonna Lee - Autumn Song
The Wispy Hummer - Winter Mirror

Now a big question "What is art" to/for you?
a commodity.

What do you think of the fine line between art, design, commercials etc?
It's all about money in the end, and it's okay.

Is art still fun?
yes. yes it is and it would always be.

what do you eat?
anything quick, fair priced and delicious

please give us some fun facts people dont know about you
I never get a good mark in the high school art classes

so you are the founder of deathrockstar.info. tell us a bit about that.
It's simply the best website you could ever think or imagine.

MATISYAHU - JERUSALEM (YOUTH)

{Chorus}
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do.

In the ancient days, we will return with no delay
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
We've been traveling from state to state
And them don't understand what they say
3,000 years with no place to be
And they want me to give up my milk and honey
Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty

{chorus}

Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
Burn in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the truth and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don't you know that's not the way to be

{chorus}

Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
Don't you know it's just a phase
Case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate
Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze
Chop down all of them dirty ways,
That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth
No way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, hey
Aint no one gonna break my stride
Aint no one gonna pull me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Stay alive

WADEZIG! X YAY! X POPÉ X TAG02 HOODIE (3 Comments)

Masih inget proyek kolaborasi ini? Hoodie terbaru ini masih bagian dari kolaborasi tersebut. Semua hasil dari foto2 yang dijejerin jadi satu, trus dibikin item putih trus print di hoodie. keren juga hasilnya, terutama kualitas printnya, tadinya saya pikir bakalan butut, taunya bagus2 aja tu. cuman yang bikin khawatir, kayanya gara2 hoodie ini saya bakalan dimusuhin sama vendornya gara2 bikin fullprint ga kira2 hihihih.

oyah, gosip2nya, gara2 proyek kita ini, artist ngetop dari UK, D-FUSE, jadi tertarik untuk kolaborasi visual/foto or something gitu sama si iyay. dan katanya proyek kolaborasi ini bakalan diadain di bandung tar. jiyeee iyaaay! :D

Urban Suzuka (3 Comments)

Jadi beberapa tahun yang lalu, lupa tahun brapa, saya dikasih karakter Suzuka raksasa sama mami eunice a.k.a PINKGIRLGOWILD, katanya waktu itu buat Suzuka Custom Toys Exhibition lanjutan, setelah suksesnya acara custom toys sebelomnya (saya lupa nama acaranya :p). Trus, setelah lama nganggur ga ada kabar, akhirnya tahun kmaren saya iseng meng-customize -- lebih tepatnya ngancurin -- si suzuka raksasa ini. konsepnya simpel dan sangat mendasar : urban, ahahah. maksutnya, ini adalah wajah kota kita sekarang. compang camping, carut marut, kotor, penuh dengan kertas2, pamflet2 industri, coret2an ga jelas. ga tembok2nya, ga orang2nya, smuanya sama ancurnya.
Butuh sekitar satu tahun buat bikin efek ancur kaya gini. setelah ditempel2in sampah, kertas2, kayu2 bekas, si Suzukanya saya biarin tergeletak di kebon blakang rumah selama berbulan2. kena hujan, panas, lembab, sampe ditumbuhin rumput liar sgala. dan ajaibnya, Suzukanya ga pernah bener2 ancur. saya pikir bakalan bakalan keropos, patah, ato apalah gitu, taunya setelah diliat lagi, masih baik2 aja tuh.

oiya, saya ga nemu foto2 Suzuka yang saya customize sama the rats buat acara terdahulu. males nyari juga sih sbenernya. tapi kalo mo liat foto2nya, coba klik disini.
ohohoh i miss those days (kinda) :p

Meet Yono (3 Comments)

Perkenalkan, namanya Maryono. Biasanya dikantor kita manggilnya Yono aja. Hobi banget fitness. Katanya biar bodinya jadi kaya karmen elektra Lite Version. Makanya suka ngaku2 bernama Yono Elektrik. Tapi kok malah lebih terdengar seperti toko peralatan listrik daripada cewe seksi ya?
Anyway, selain fitnes, dia juga hobi difoto. liat deh pose2nya. keren banget bukan? oh and btw, kalo ngomongin desain atau senirupa, Yono ga ada lawan deh. cuman dia yg bisa bikin lukisan yg rapihnya ngalahin Corel. No wonder, Yono adalah pacarnya salah seorang Bapak CorelDraw Sedunia yang terkenal itu.
Oh and if you cant help yourself from buying APRIL products over and over again because you looove APRIL so much and you cant get it out of your mind, SUE HER! hahahah
