Project Info
WU500MG is a tribute to the Wu-Tang Clan, the most legendary hip hop group from the 90s. We teamed up with them to create a survival kit containing, amongst others, a limited edition Alien, the most unique spray paint can by MTN Colors (w/ yellow paint).
For the launch of the WU500MG initiative, we were invited to paint the iconic yellow ‘W’. We decided to steal Georges Rousse’s signature trompe‑l’œil technique, to finally be able to — physically Enter The Wu-Tang chamber.
PROJECT FACT
The brackets around the Wu-Tang W, in the collaboration lock up design, also represent the chamber with its two entrances. If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
