Profile

Kuro Kuma Sumi 150mm Petty

Sequels are tough. Living up to the hype of the original yet introducing something new to keep it interesting. To be totally honest most sequels are turkeys. For example – Zoolander – the original was funny as f*), controversial (it was banned in Malaysia) and gave us all inspiration to be really, really, really good looking. Zoolander 2 – TURKEY. And then there are the Kill Bills of the world.

If the Sumi 2 was a movie the sequel is written by George RR Martin, Directed by Tarantino and stars Sean Connery, Idris Alba, Robert de Niro as well as anyone who has ever captained the USS Enterprise.
