Killer Gerbil in Melbourne

My homeboy from Singapore Killer Gerbil and his lovely wife were in Melbourne this past week and it was great to catch up with him after my trip to Singapore last year. For those of you who don't know he is an illustrator/graffiti artist/sneaker customizer who has worked with the likes of Vans, Adidas and Streething just to name a few. Below are a few more shots of his time around Melbourne.

Also I will chuck up a few more preview pics of works for the show. Just under 3 weeks away now.

Thats close!

So this was brought to my attention the other day and I gotta say everyone I have spoken too seems to agree its pretty close. But hey it was bound to happen sooner or later right? It really is a compliment. Above original Sekure D x Globe Mace Hi Collaboration. Below is the new Vans La Cripta Dos Mid, I'm not gonna say its a bite, you can make up your own mind...

Flashback Vol. V

Lucidity and Toxic Dunk High's done a few years ago as brother pairs.

A little over a month to go until the exhibition so I am still living in the studio. I will post some canvas previews soon but be sure to come down and check them out in person!

Still in the Batcave

Still living in the studio trying to get everything together for this show. Not too long away now so trying to get some last min things finished hence the lack of posts. Stay tuned!

Solo Exhibition

Sekure D's first solo exhibition is set to take place @ Hogan Gallery on April 17th and runs till the 30th. It features both custom sneakers and a collection of canvas artworks painted over 2008 and 2009. All are welcome.
I know its a while away but why not get it out there early.

Sekure D on Flickr

So upon the advice of many people I know I have finally decided to go and start my Flickr account. So drop past if your on there or even if your not and hit us up with some comments and so forth. Its far from full with pictures at the moment but it will become a great way to keep track of articles, artwork and customs from the past as well as have some extra photos of upcoming works that do not get posted elsewhere. We will be sure to fill it up over the next few days.....

Consider it now updated!

Sekure D's Guide to Custom Sneakers

Every day I get asked questions about how to custom, everything from paints to brushes and where I get my ideas, now there is now a place that has all the answers. For issue 14 of Sneaker Freaker I completed a start to finish guide on customizing that included the preparation, painting and finishing touches required to make a classic painted custom shoe. This guide has now gone up on their website and can be seen here.

Cheers to the Sneaker Freaker crew, nobody has layouts like these guys.

Fake Vol. V

Another fake has been found. This time they even have the balls to promote it on their website as a "Nike Dunk Low x Sekure D"
