KEEP SHINING

It's Dilla month, so celebrate him everyday all day. I didn't get this out in time for his birthday (my hand started cramping) but the 1 year anniversary of his death is just days away so here's a little tribute. Inspired by the Thank you Jay Dee podcast and his life's work.

(Edit: Apparently my harddrive had a mild heart attack. I took it to the apple store to get it checked out. The diagnostic report stated all the hardware was in working order. So there is no need to replace the harddrive.)

Clincher

In honor of the A's finally clinching the AL West, here is an old drawing circa 89-90, from when I was a kid. I believe it was based on a Score trading card. Hopefully the team can make it out the first round this time. -R.

Handy with the Steel

(added another revised version on top)
I'm trying to bolster my current portfolio. So instead of reworking the previous versions of this image, I started from scratch. Furthermore, I'm looking for work in visual development/concept art right now, so if anyone has any leads holler at me. -R.

Blade

-R.

Get the Money

Mr. Perkins for the block... You sunk my battleship! Ok, no more portraits from me for now. -R.

NEO RENAISSANCE

To your Del, I move my Ultraman. He's now based in Los Angeles but was born and raised around the Bay. Truth is, I can't even battle rap you right now because I need tommygun surgery on my shoulder :) (BTW-smile emoticon is the new puctuation) Here's this picture I drew up recently of my friend Shawn to replace this old drawing he had been using for his cd covers. The old drawing won out in a 10 minute drawing contest between my friend Ben and I, it was really old and rushed so I'm glad he asked me to revamp it.

Catch a Bad One

I see your E40 and raise you a Del. :) -R.

MR. FLAMBOYANT

I'm hesitant to blog this because I was set on keeping my non-posting streak alive. But seeing as Ricardo has slowed down, I think it only fair to strike now before I get buried under a slew of new drawings he's probably got brewing. I ran across an old image of a pre-hyphy slimmer E40 -this must have been before he and Chester McGlockton opened up that Fat burger in Pleasant Hill- and decided to stir up my very own SoCal vs NorCal rap war after Ricardo put up his hip hop portraits. What better rook, pawn, knight to start off with but the Ambassador of the Bay, Earl Stevens.
