Hanging out with CrackoArtGroup! #crackoartgroup

Sup peeps!

You may have knew that Sabah was hit by an earthquake recently. I uploaded a post about it a few weeks ago. Click here to check out that post.

Kota Kinabalu is approximately an hour and a half away from Ranau (where the epicentre was). Sadly, there were casualties. So a contemporary art group known as CrackoArtGroup painted a huge mural on an unused building known as the "heritage" located opposite of the Suria Sabah Shopping Mall. They did it out of respect for the victims as well as Sabah's unsung heroes.

Apparently, it became popular in a couple of hours. Sabahans came to light up candles and lay flowers as a tribute. Not hundreds but thousands of Sabahans showed up. They came regardless of skin colours, races, sizes, ages, and religions as one. #CrackoArtGroup was then widely known.

So, I managed to get in touch with the group and hung out with them. I threw questions at them and got to know them a lot better. They're just fun, outgoing, creative and humble individuals. I met up with Cracko, Anddy, Egn, Nofie and Mark. I did a video (vlog style) of our meet up.

As you may know, I don't bring around heavy and fancy camera equipment around. All I had with me was a GoPro and a compact camera. Short said, check out the embedded video below! You can also check out my Youtube channel.


To CrackoArtGroup, sorry for the late post. Either way, you're all awesome! Thanks a million for giving me the opportunity to hangout with you guys. So if you don't know who these individuals are, be sure to check out the video. Get in touch with them!

Oh! Also, 7 days after they painted the mural, they repainted the whole wall with white paint. They followed the tradition. Besides, they have their reasons. Anyway, check some of their artworks, talented indeed.
