I did this artwork for my solo art exhibition called I Just Murdered The Alphabet<\/h2>\n

Starting from today, I’ll post a drawing a day for the next 5 months.
\nAnd I’m not talking about a quick doodle. I will post an inspiring drawing.
\nThe kind of awesome art I prepared with my heart and soul.
\nYou don’t believe me?
\nMy name is Mega. Just watch.

Character 1 | Original handmade drawing for my solo art exhibition I Just Murdered The Alphabet<\/p><\/div>\n

Does it pay to be deaf dumb and blind?
\nKILLAH PRIEST<\/h2>\n

Read books, create art, write books, stop watching TV, do more drawings: Be Mega.<\/strong>
\nAs for the religious aspect of this statement, you have to understand that I live in Indonesia, which is the biggest muslim country in the world. I grew up a christian country, and to be more specific I’m based on a hindu island.
\nFor me, religion is about tolerance, living together in mutual respect, and accepting one’s belief.<\/p>\n

Hip-hop punchline inspiration:
\nDoes it pay to be deaf dumb and blind?<\/em> – KILLAH PRIEST<\/a><\/strong> – B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)<\/p>\n

Yo yo yo yo yo
\nBUSTA RHYMES<\/h2>\n

This artwork is urban by nature.<\/strong>
\nThis illustration is real.
\nThis is the jungle and it grooves.
\nThis is hip-hop and it doesn’t stop.
\nThis is Mega and you know you love it.<\/p>\n

Hip-hop punchline inspiration:
\nYo yo yo yo yo<\/em> – BUSTA RHYMES<\/a><\/strong> – Mythsysizer<\/p>\n

I flash brilliance in the form of the naked truth
\nVAKILL<\/h2>\n

In the form of the naked truth.
\nI showed this artwork to @VAKILL on his twitter, and the man himself said “dope”.
\nI couldn’t have said it better \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Hip-hop punchline inspiration:
\nI flash brilliance in the form of the naked truth<\/em> – VAKILL<\/a><\/strong> – The Crown Don’t Move<\/p>\n

Make this shit look easy
\nCURREN$Y<\/h2>\n

Have you ever watch Messy playing soccer?<\/strong>
\nHave you ever heard Otis Redding singing soul?
\nHave you ever seen Mike Tyson boxing?
\nWhat’s the common point between all those great artists?
\nThey make what they do look easy.
\nI am not a star and I don’t pretend anything. I just do my best.
\nDo you think what I do is easy?
\nHum… Then try to do it.<\/p>\n

Hip-hop punchline inspiration:
\nMake this shit look easy<\/em> – CURREN$Y<\/a><\/strong> – Real Estates<\/p>\n

Damn it feels good
\nJUELZ SANTANA<\/h2>\n

The Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Des Griffeurs is the name of the characters you can see in my artworks. <\/strong>
\nThe masked people I draw are part of an imaginary gang.
\nThey live in the jungle, far from the Western rules and societies.
\nThey’re free.
\nIt feels really good.<\/p>\n

Hip-hop punchline inspiration:
\nDamn it feels good<\/em> – JUELZ SANTANA<\/a><\/strong> – Damn It Feels Good (to Be A Gangster)<\/p>\n

I could never be a thug, they don\u2019t dress this well
\nCLIPSE<\/h2>\n

I’m not a thug but you can call me a warrior.
\nI fight everyday of my life to produce more artworks and to stay independent.
\nI could easily go back to art direction<\/a> if I wanted to.
\nBut for the moment I like to work freelance and I want to stay free.<\/p>\n
