Welcome to the Jungle


Track # 8 Welcome to the Jungle. Haha as I was sketching these out in thumbnails I noticed that the concepts got harder and harder to depict.If I thought I had a hard time with colors the first time ! Hope you can dig it ... Also a Dutch website has a small feature centered around these Illustrations- I guess that's motivation enough to finish haha Thanks to my new friends at versheid.com (which means Freshness translated) and to my friend Afra for getting me the chance to be on it !Enjoy.

Gotta Have It



Definitely in my top 3 songs off of the album "watch The Throne" By Jay-z and Kanye West called "Gotta Have It". It has an awesome sample and a dope beat. Color edit by the awesome Benjamin Anders everything was a lot more saturated before lol.I might switch up a couple of things but here it is for now.Enjoy.

Otis



Track #4 on 'Watch The Throne'. I was going to re-interpret a shot from the video but I felt like it would be redundant. So i decided to create the performance that would have been -Jay, Ye, and Otis himself ...Also i felt like the song deserved the timeless Grey scale photo treatment ,added a bit of noise to the image.Ps: congrats to Jay and Bey on the baby the song "new day" makes a lot of sense now... Enjoy.

Street Style



Preview of a larger post I'm working on. Walking to and from cafes to sketch people every so often I come across stylish or just interesting people who are (for the most part) extremely friendly . I've always loved blogs like 'the sartorialist' ,'GQ's Tommy Ton photos and 'the aveder outfit' thought it'd be more interesting to see a quick illustration alongside the images. They're all holding my new business cards by the way ;) stay tuned to this post for updates .Enjoy.
