Meerkatsu

My name is Seymour Yang and I am an artist and illustrator based in London, UK. My artwork is heavily influenced by East Asian culture and the sport of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. You will find my illustrations decorating clothing, martial arts uniforms, posters, advertising, stickers, magazine editorial and many other products and media.

Today, December 5th, many European countries celebrate Krampusnacht. This pagan deity is tasked with punishing naughty children. This drawing of mine is available on my Redbubble print store (Redbubble.com/people/Meerkatsu) . #krampus #krampusnacht https://www.instagram.com/p/BrAGKKWAaLP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s513f0s8uu29

Throwback to a drawing from my Animal BJJ colouring book. You can still buy all my colouring in books over at the Blurb.com website (just type Meerkatsu in the search). They make ideal stocking fillers for the BJJ obsessed art fan. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4RllOg9t7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q646cxl4bhrh

Six years ago today I released my first ever hooded top product on my embryonic Meerkatsu Store. I still wear it now. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp6cXrQgwml/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sujumguhptky

Happy Halloween! Each year I draw something to celebrate Halloween. Here I’ve drawn a cheerleader (although you probably can’t tell because of her position) applying back control @danaherjohn Danaher Death Squad style on a zombie. I did debate whether a rear naked choke would work on a zombie and the general consensus was that it would not, so, looks like our hero is kinda stuck there. . #brazilianjiujitsu #bjj #jiujitsu #bjjart #bjjartist #jiujitsuart #rearnakedchoke #rnc #halloweenart https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpl0ba9g5Lk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i7t7ekgear1

Heavenly Obi - Black belt. I chose my Divine Bow & Arrow artwork to decorate this, the final belt in my heavenly Obi series. The bow and arrow is one of the earliest gi back attacks a student will learn yet it is one that still proves its effectiveness at the very highest levels of gi competition.

29. Jimenju. Day 29 of my month long #Inktober project. Jimenju is a fruit tree that bears fruit with human faces. #yokaitober #japanesefolklore #jimenju https://www.instagram.com/p/BpjkPcJjDPM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19kzy1jdjxg24

Heavenly Obi - brown belt. The Heavenly Footlock adorns my Meerkatsu brown belt. In the regular gi rules, submissions such as toe holds and knee bars become eligible only at brown belt. My instructor used to tell me that learning the leg attack game was like learning a whole new martial art on top of what you have been doing in prior belts. . Btw the best design is printed via dye sublimation, just like on a rashguard, so the ink doesn’t fade peel or crack. Available at my store (link in biog) but unfortunately we’ve sold out of A2 brown belts already. https://www.instagram.com/p/BphTqCkDlac/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=svszt9drdni5
