You Got The Juice Now...

What you saying, folks?

I trust you all had a great weekend. For us, things have slowed right down – Corrie and I have become social misfits while we wait for the kid she’s carrying to be born (6 or 7 weeks to go), and have been pretty much confined to our house. On the plus side, it’s given me a chance to knock out some more artwork.

I know it’s been done to death, but I had an urge to flip a Tupac sketch – run a google image search and you’ll find a whole heap of fan drawings of 2Pac (ranging from the decent to the down-right abysmal).

Now, I can’t claim to be a 2Pac fan (give or take the occasional track), but Juice is a cracking movie, and his portrayal of Bishop is bang on point. So, with Corrie out shopping with her Ma-dukes, I threw Juice in the DVD player and rocked a sketch straight from the DVD cover.

Check it below (click to enlarge), and feel free to drop a comment.

Until next time,

Cherchez LaGhost...

What's going on, people???

Sorry for the delay in posting - since getting back from our vacation life has been hectic... Add to that, Reason and I have been performing as a part of the Obese Block Party tour, so I've had very little time to add anything here... Don't worry though, I've got a new post right now, and I promise there will be some more updates soon…

Anyways, here’s a new sketch I’ve just completed… It’s of the Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface Killah…



Ghost has been the most consistent member of the Wu on a solo tip, dropping gem after gem, and if you still haven’t peeped last years ‘The Big Doe Rehab’, you’re slipping…

Here’s the sketch…


Let me know what you think…

Catch you next time…

Bobby Digital...

It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you…

What’s happening??? It’s been ages since I’ve updated – as you may know, Corrie and I have been away on holiday, travelling the world, so that meant no blog updates here (although, as my last blog entry told ya, you can check our holiday action on Corrie’s blog,
http://award-tour.blogspot.com/ )… So, to remedy the situation I’m finaly back with another illustration…

I knocked this one up before we went away, and I have to say, I’m pretty happy with it…

It’s a ‘Wu-Tang Forever’ era Rza...


Check it out below (click picture to see bigger) and let me know what you think...

All the best,

Time 4 Sum Aksion...

Yes yes y'all...

Back again... Another sketch for all a y'all, and this time it's another favourite of mine, Redman...

Corrie and I are just preparing to go on holiday (we're heading back to the London, UK for a bit, then on to New York and Las Vegas - there will be a holiday blog to peep - I'll keep you posted) and I thought it was fitting to do a Reggie Noble illustration, as we have tickets to see Redman and Method Man at Shepherds Bush Empire, London...

Actually, we saw Red' and Meth' perform together last time we were in New York at the Wu-Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard Tribute Show, and they were awesome live, so I'm looking forward to seeing them again...

Anyway, check the drawing below (click to enlarge) and feel free to drop a comment...

All the best,
