New Bapestas 2006 Collection: Bubble Gum Goodness!

Yes, with such combination of colours, you would think this pair of shoes would taste like bubble gum. I get the feeling that Nigo is trying to furnish that bubble gum thang to his new collection. Does Nigo like bubble gum? It is obvious that the colour scheme matches Bape’s light pink/blue/yellow camo clothing collection. More pics to come when I get my hands on these sweet sweet bubble gum Bapestas.

Aaron Ng

It is often said that while pursuing the mighty dollar or getting through life, a person can find him or herself dancing with mediocrity. That is a lie! My brother, Aaron, is an apparent example that such a truism is so diluted by the intricacy of the world. I guess art has been in the family ever since I could remember, whether it be structural designs for dad's works or art folios for school. Simply put, as much as he pursues a different lifestyle (of expensive clothing brands and the likes) and interest (Bape), he has never lost his infatuation in drawing. They display a passion for detail with a mix of indigenous construct, which have always been the theme and characteristic of his works. He dismantles the bigotry of symmetry and colourful canvas in his drawings using minimum colour schemes, leaving as little void space between the details. In this new age of art and culture, innovations and moments of genius for all those who push their interest to a different level can only leave us to ponder on the limits of our gift. Mediocrity? Pfft*

These are the only few sketches that I could get from him.
