Massinfluence: Morning Breath Chasers Art.

It definitely feels good to be doing artwork for my crew again. We started out in a time that was before blogs, social networks and online distribution. The same time where graphic designers and artists didn’t come a dime a dozen. Emailing was the newest form of contact and high-speed internet had yet to break through. I was using Photoshop 4.0 on a Power Computing Power Tower clone. That was the poor man’s Apple computer and you needed either or to run Adobe applications. It’s true, you couldn’t do graphics on a Windows PC.

Lady Daisey: Wonderfully Lost.

This illustration was for Lady Daisey‘s album, which at the time was called “Wonderfully Lost“. She sent me a reference picture from Flight Of The Concords and asked if I could do something similar. The concept seemed easier when I looked at the picture but, in the end I made it much harder than it was. The idea was to draw Daisey and Batsauce in a collage of images that represented travel. They gave me a list of images and a group of their photos to draw from.

Jax Da Ripper – a classic Frolaboration.

This is the second picture that I did for the “Who’s Jax Art Show” in Atlanta last week. As before, I used a photo of Jax to draw from but this time the photo was provided by the Frolab. For those who don’t know, the Frolab is an umbrella of multimedia and apparel being brought to you by Cognito (The Visionist) and Jewell Green (Miss Frolab). In the late 90′s, Jax was hired by Nito to work at the Fat Beats store in Atlanta. Their friendship extends much deeper than that but, it’s where a lot of Jax’s ambitions excelled.

Deluxe Apartment in the Sky.

This is the first picture that I made for the “Who’s Jax Art Show” in Atlanta last week. The visual artists who submitted their work, were given a collection of Jax’s photos to draw from. I chose a picture that shows Jax making a face, that he sometimes made before cracking a strange joke. It almost reminds me of the sad-face clown, or someone who’s parade had gotten rained on. So I ran with that feeling and thought of a scenario that might equate to this expression.
