The Phuncky Feel One...

Wow – 2 posts in a week? Yep – I’m on a roll here. Truth be told, work is dead slow at the moment with most of our clients already broken up for the Christmas break, so during my down time I’ve had a chance to flex some artistic muscle.

I’m a huge Cypress Hill fan – have been since they dropped their debut. They were the first Hip Hop act I ever saw live, back in the early / mid ‘90s at Brixton Academy, and their first 2 albums remain firm favourites of mine to this day.

Anyways, this particular illustration has been sat half finished for the last 3 or 4 month, and it took a prompt from TROY blogger, Markshot to get me motivated enough to finish it.

So, here it is – a vector illustration of nasal-toned, Cypress Hill frontman, B-Real.

Have a butchers and let me know what you reckon.

Happy Holidays,

Big Poppa...

It’s been forever and a day since I updated this place – same old story, again and again. And more excuses – on the real, I’ve been pretty sick, laid up for well over a week with Glandular Fever, so doing anything other than sleeping really hasn’t been a priority.

Anyways, getting back to work in time for everything to slow down to a crawl for the Christmas period allowed me some spare time to flip a quick scribble.

Here’s my Notorious BIG offering. Rest In Peace Biggie.

Have a safe Christmas and New Year, if I don’t see you before hand.

All the best,

Rainy Dayz...

Here's another quickie for ya.

I've been wanting to do a Raekwon The Chef (Wu-Tang Clan) portrait for ages, but have struggled to find the right image to work from, so in the mean time here's a simple biro caricature I flexed between clients at work.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Brooklyn Zoo...

Here's a quickie for you all on a slow Friday.

Just a 5 minute scribble of Wu-Tang's much missed Ol' Dirty Bastard. Rest in Peace Big Baby Jesus.

Have a cracking weekend folks.

Check Yo Self...

What's up, folks?

I can't believe I'm posting a new update here so soon, but I guess it's been a productive few days.

The World Cup has ended and I'm a few Dollars better off for it thanks to the work Sweep-stake, if that wasn't a great way to begin the week, my boss is off work this week and next week I'll be having a holiday too, so the mood here is great.

Work has had it's slow moments lately so I managed to get some vector artwork done. This time it's a caricature of West Coast Legend and ex-NWA member, Ice Cube. I started this illustration a while back, but had been flat out here so never got around to finishing it off until now.

As with my other vector pieces, I started with some rough sketches, scanned them in, and set to creating some smooth vectors.

Check out the result below (click to enlarge) and let me know what you reckon.

Cheers,
