I did this artwork for my solo art exhibition called I Just Murdered The Alphabet
Starting from today, I’ll post a drawing a day for the next 5 months.
And I’m not talking about a quick doodle. I will post an inspiring drawing.
The kind of awesome art I prepared with my heart and soul.
You don’t believe me?
My name is Mega. Just watch.

Does it pay to be deaf dumb and blind?
KILLAH PRIEST
Read books, create art, write books, stop watching TV, do more drawings: Be Mega.
As 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.
For me, religion is about tolerance, living together in mutual respect, and accepting one’s belief.

Yo yo yo yo yo
BUSTA RHYMES
This artwork is urban by nature.
This illustration is real.
This is the jungle and it grooves.
This is hip-hop and it doesn’t stop.
This is Mega and you know you love it.

VAKILL
In the form of the naked truth.
I showed this artwork to @VAKILL on his twitter, and the man himself said “dope”.
I couldn’t have said it better 😉

Make this shit look easy
CURREN$Y
Have you ever watch Messy playing soccer?
Have you ever heard Otis Redding singing soul?
Have you ever seen Mike Tyson boxing?
What’s the common point between all those great artists?
They make what they do look easy.
I am not a star and I don’t pretend anything. I just do my best.
Do you think what I do is easy?
Hum… Then try to do it.

Damn it feels good
JUELZ SANTANA
The Société Des Griffeurs is the name of the characters you can see in my artworks.
The masked people I draw are part of an imaginary gang.
They live in the jungle, far from the Western rules and societies.
They’re free.
It feels really good.

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