What’s going on everyone?
As promised, I managed to squeeze a couple of hours of drawing in over the weekend while Corrie was out and Marley slept. I threw on Dave Chappelle’s Block Party DVD and got to work on this Busta Rhymes portrait.
Check it out below (click image to see larger version) and let me know what you think.

What’s happening, people?
It’s been a while since the last update – I’ve been away travelling with my Wife and Daughter – we caught up with our friends and Family back in the UK and hit New York for a spot of shopping on the way back.
As a result, I’ve not had much of a chance to put pencil to paper, but I intend on trying to steal a couple of hours over the weekend to flex a new sketch.
In the mean time I’ll hit you up with this commissioned sketch I had been working on for the past few months. Basically, UK Hip Hop Legend / Veteran, Insane Macbeth hit me up a while back asking for a sketch. He sent me some images to work from and some guidelines to follow and I got down to work.
During our UK stay, I took the finished sketch to Brixton and caught up with the man himself and had a yarn about the good old days of UK rap. Biggups Insane Macbeth, it was an absolute pleasure both working with and socializing with you – and thanks for the records.
Check the sketch below, and peep Insane Macbeth’s Myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/officialinsanemacbeth

Once again, this weekend Corrie and Marley were out with the girls giving me some free time to do some more drawing.
I’ve had this image waiting to go for a while, so was happy to finally get around to sketching this illustration of the Wu-Tang Clan’s Gza / Genius. I put The Show & Rhyme & Reason on the DVD player for some inspiration and flexed this picture.

Continuing on the West Coast tip, this weekend I found time to flip a sketch of G-Funk pioneer and all round production legend, Dr Dre.
With Corrie and Marley out for the morning I sharpened my pencils, bunged CB4 in the DVD player and set to work on capturing the NWA members’ likeness.
Check the result below (click to enlarge) and let me know what you reckon.

What’s happening?
Over the past few weeks I’ve been on an uncharacteristic West Coast tip – those that know me will tell you I’m a closed-minded Golden Era East Coast fanatic, so bugging on some Gangsta ish really ain’t my regular bag. Lately I’ve been bumping the likes of Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Snoop, King Tee, MC Eiht, WC & The Maad Circle, Westside Connection and I guess that has influenced this week’s portrait.
On Saturday, while Corrie and Marley were out shopping, I slung classic West Coast Gangsta flick, Menace II Society in the DVD player and flexed this drawing of NWA member and Gangsta Rap icon, Eazy-E (RIP).
Check it out below (click to enlarge), and feel free to leave a comment.
Until next time,
