Meerkatsu Art: Combat Skin


Last year I was commissioned by new fightwear brand Combat Skin to design a series of Chinese style unicorn animals - known as the Qilin (also kirin in Japanese mythology).

I drew three different qilin postures and a huge variety of colourways for each. The designs were combined in various ways to produce a rashguard (see photo above), a t-shirt, tights, shorts, patch and a BJJ gi. Pretty much an entire grappler's wardrobe!

Here are photos of the t-shirt and patch: -


Note the gold ink used on the qilin - shimmery!


The gi patch is really vibrant, kudos to the patch maker for selecting such zingy thread colours.

Here are press shots of the tights and the gi design:




All of the above items are available via the COMBAT SKIN STORE. 

When my sample of the gi arrives, I'll write a full photographic showcase of the details on this blog.

My thanks to Combat Skin for trusting me with such a very large assignment, I look forward to seeing grapplers rock the qilin range around the world!
