diggin the crates

For some of you on facebook that saw some of my ideas i did 10 yrs ago, i had promised to show some of the ideas i had done for the niceguys. Because i had so much junk in my room and too much going on i wasn't able to upload any of them. Every art work below is some stuff i did for the past 2 yrs. This is def. not close to everything I have done. Below is ideas, characters, album covers i did for them. My vision for the group was beyond the norm. I came up with ideas to direct music videos, every character had their role. The last time i had seen such branding of original worlds and characters into fashion and music was from nigo's own a bathing ape. He made characters for his brand and music group teriyaki boyz. These are some examples

CLICK ON EACH PIC FOR BETTER VIEWINGsome mixtape covers i did for them, i incorporated the characters i had made for them. If you have been following the blog for a while, i posted alot of the covers i did for them. Some of these characters should not be new to you. The next cover below was my personal favorite. I wished i completed it

the next set of sketches are characters i did for them. I have alot of them and do not have time to upload any. I was going to use them if they were going to make music videos but that would take forever and a day to do. I decided to just stick with illustration

MR NO HOMO
I honestly wish people would see these characters come to life. Only time will tell

HATIN ASS BEAR

I also created personal logos for the group and the characters. I flipped famous designer brands and made them mine. Read and see

from queens to hell to rivegauche

self explanatory

An interesting project i am working on i would like to share with you. I am taking a book binding class in art school and for 1 its mad tough. My latest project has to do with binding a journal with our own theme. My theme of choice has to do with creation from adam and eve. This really has nothing to do with my christian faith but biblical themes are really interesting and i have been incorporating some of those themes in my shirts. For some of you that have kept up with the blog for a while i do talk about dreams i have. Anyhow enough of this mythical talk. These are just some of the ideas i should be using in the journal

Tree in eden

the apple that adam bit

An early rough of adam. I know i got work to do, so clown after its done

Recently i have been trying to get better in still life art and portraits but for some reason my shit is too cartoonish. Even though realistic art is not my calling i refuse to accept failure. With that said Yves is hard to draw

Even though my portraits look nothing like the original pictures, i try and cheat my through to make it feel like its another style. I got work to do, My brother really thinks i've lost it

Also u do know he will be performing next week at club meridian. He is the reason why i got back on facebook, The world really needs to hear his voice. He has alot to offer. Pls come out and support. There will be a fashion show, other stores will be in the house, other brands will be around also. Frank 151 and so much more will be around too so make sure u come support the scene. Also all our shirts will go from $10 - $20. We will be giving out some free ones too, so make sure yall come around. This is your last chance

But before i go, shout out to Nas and Talib kweli for rocking the house at warehouse live. That concert was prob. the best thing that's happened in a while. Def. some ill shit.

Also i don't really speak on music often but John Legend has done it again. I will let the video speak for itself.

SPACESHIP SHIT. see yall around, and one more thing shout out to my supporters, some of what i hear recently really amazes me. God has really blessed me with people who appreciate the work. Big ups to them. Anyhow spoof, i'm gone
