+ Sneaker Pimps - Jakarta

Article from footurama written by Bergas.

Sneaker and street art culture has been the cool buzz in Hellkarta for this past year or so, thanks to the massive success of last year MEDIUMRARE joint brewed by WhatNot, TembokBomber, and your own FOOTURAMA. And to put a big strawberry and fat whipped cream on top of this cake, this year these crazy kidz will serve you their latest madness with SNEAKER PIMPS, the world largest sneaker tour on planet !!!!
Peter Fahey, a native Australian, brought SNEAKER PIMPS to life in the year of 2003. They did their first gig in Sydney and received a stamped of approval by world’s sneaker and street art community soon afterward.

In every gig, the PIMPS always laced up sneakers, hip hop and street art by featuring cult street artists such as FUTURA, STASH, EWOK, SBTG, JOR 1 and even a live performance by PUBLIC ENEMY at their last NYC’s tour, along with their killer kicks collection. PIMPS also responsible for introducing us with Dave White, who based his splash style painting on our kicks’ ancestors.
SNEAKER PIMPS Jakarta is no different, it will host SBTG (world’s undefeated sneaker customizer from Singapore,) EWOK (NYC’s aerosol superstar,) and Brooklyn’s crawler FUTURA (aaaaa….. do we need to explain him???? We’ll need a whole book on him!) Also watch for Hellkarta’s own graffiti artists such as Darbotz, Kims, Ones, Morden, TOTER, TUTU and many more.
Prepared to be amazed with the live art installation by above major forces, the live skate’o’ rama and of course sneakers, sneakers, and many more sneakers we could hope for. So cancelled all your dates, forget the movies, get a babysitter or do whatever you need to check SNEAKER PIMPS Opening party on April 8th 2006. Make sure to protect your head, and arm your feet with the appropriate kicks, caused when it drops, this shit surely will explode…. You’ve been warned!

+ Cinere Spooky House

Last Friday, Wormo and the Fantastic Crew (Silentboy, Aldoz & Belor) went painting in Cinere Spooky House (local said that the house was burnt down by the villagers because they don't like the owner.. wohoo..). We got no problem from any ghost, security or whatsoever... But, we got chashed by a raging kerbau.. I think it's his mating season.. huahahaha...

+ What Creation Created the Creator?

A nice collaboration beetwen Kicky and Rino..

The Great Masses Of People Would Easily Fall
to a Big Lie Rather That a Small One
Wars are Lies !! but then "dulce et decorum est pro patria morte" (Sweet and Honorable is to have a Patriotic Death), every youngster turns to soldier.
At the far right of this Mural, simple stencils of The "Deutsche Reichs-Adler" are shown to represent all the military recruits when country commits to War. Have we heard one's story "We were soldiers " yet? Once one of us claim to be or at least one of us in one in every three generation of one's family tree, once in every nation, at war or not at war, human lives have been given and taken.
But as youngsters who then serve and who are willing to give life or take life, murder at war becomes heroism, shown here at the far left as simple stencils can turn to golden military decorations at the price of life, not many lived to tell. Oh my, what have WE created..!?
