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.
Jax is originally from Queens, NY and a neighborhood known as Rochdale Village. He often referred to this place as his home so I wanted to add this into the picture. Jax also made references to his life through TV… and a song called “Weezy” is what always comes to mind. This song talks about him wanting a woman like Louise Jefferson, who was George Jefferson’s wife from the TV sitcom “The Jeffersons“. He used to sing the show’s theme song and it would make everybody laugh… and that’s where the concept of this picture comes from. Jax has finally moved on up and back to his deluxe apartment in the sky.

With so much talent that all the artist displayed at the art show, every piece was so life like and surreal. JAX will forever be king and live forever because Jedi’s Always eXsist in our hearts & memories thanks to you all. H, awesome work as always brother! Much love!
That Jedi acronym is so for real and I’m sure by now that, we’ve all lost a friend or family member before. But I’ve never lost one that so many people had this much of an equal relation to. It’s up to all of us to continue sun’s quest for recognition. Thanks for the love & respect my dude, you know that street travels both ways!
