I was commissioned by Killarney Grappling Club in County Kerry, Ireland to design their academy rashguard. They wanted a battle scarred mean looking King Kong character dressed in BJJ uniform...and that's what I gave them.

The rashguards were printed by Tatami Fightwear's custom printing service but they made more than was needed so luckily for me, I have a small batch available through my store from 12pm GMT 23rd April 2013.

What's really cool is that despite this being a specific commission for a specific grappling school, I have received so many messages and emails from people all over the world screaming to get their hands on one. Hopefully the small batch I will put on sale tomorrow will go some way to helping satisfy that demand.


Just one favour, if you do buy one of these rashies, please take a photo and send or tag the Killarney Team on Facebook or by email. they'd be ever so chuffed to see their academy name represented by friends from all over the world.

I have just posted three new t-shirt designs for my store - www.meerkatsushop.com

The first, as modeled by my team mate Daniel Stauss, is the same design I used in my popular hoodie, the one I call 'Heavenly Lions'. It features my hand drawn artwork of two adult Chinese lions with one baby lion. In the brown t-shirt version, the artwork is inverted and I used a dark yellow ink.

In the second version, seen here below modeled by my team mate Jack Cronin, the colourway is a more traditional navy ink in white t-shirt.


Both Heavenly Lions t-shirts have a design on the back too. Again, I repeated the same design as per the hoodie. Already, both t-shirts are selling fast on my store website.

The final design is one I am particularly proud of. It's my rendition of the battle between the Monkey King against the boy prince known as Nezha. I will discuss more about this artwork over on my art blog, but it was inspired by the Chinese animated feature film Havoc in Heaven.





All three t-shirts are available now through my store - www.meerkatsushop.com

Summary
Typically exemplary quality craftsmanship from Bull Terrier plus the allure of fantasy horror artwork from Gawakoto combine to create the 'Unleashed' gi and rashguard combo (sold separately). Bull Terrier gis fit at the smaller end of the A1 spectrum of sizes. The rashguard however (size medium) fits perfectly and is possibly the finest rashguard I have ever worn, with super smooth material, ultra comfortable fit and eye poppingly amazing artwork.

Disclosures
I have no business of other connection with Bull Terrier. I have known Bong Abad, the artist behind Gawakoto for several years and we have collaborated on a previous project.

Information
Unleashed is a limited edition series of gi and nogi products.
In the UK, it is available through www.gawakoto.co.uk
Gi is priced at: £135
Long sleeve rashguard priced at: £44.95
For the rest of the world, it is sold through www.btfightgear.com
(other retailers may stock this item too)
