NEMO custom Mickey Mouse for Mickey Brand Halo @ Times Square, Hong Kong (July 9)
From the Philippines comes an intense Mickey Mouse-custom completed for the Mickey Brand Halo show in Times Square, Hong Kong on July 9th 2009 - as part of the BLOC MICKEY Show (organized by 3-Mix x Disney Asia). Nemo Aguila aka NEMO vibes Mickey with a neon-hotrod palette (at least in thy humbled-eyes) and a surprisingly eerie cheery grin .. perhaps Mickey knows something you don't? (Altho I wouldn't really recommend listening the the dude peering thru the crack out back of Mickey's head, yeh? heh). CLICK THRU for more pics and a lil Q&A with NEMO :)
TOYSREVIL: What is the name of your custom? And do share with us the concept of your design and story of your creation.
NEMO: The name is "Manster Mickey". The concept of the design is to turn Mickey into a monster mouse. Since I've been into drawing, painting and designing monster creatures most of the time,
(and my street art character is a monster ) - I thought that its the best thing I can do for the project.
TOYSREVIL: Are you happy with the result? And what is Mickey Mouse to you?
NEMO: ::) happiness! And that Mickey Mouse is one hell of a mouse icon!
TOYSREVIL: Cheers dude! Awesome custom BTW! In Closing, please do share a little bit about yourself = WHO IS NEMO?
NEMO: I'm NEMO (Nemo Aguila) - Residing at the Philippines. I'm a full time artist and a halfway student ::)
I draw, paint, illustrate, sculpt junks and design toys and anything that can be designed! Im also into street art for 3 yrs I think ... I enjoy things related to art!
