Earmint
I received an e-mail from a young guy who calls himself, "Earmint." He's a white rapper type dude who lays down some heavy ass beats. He had a proposition for me. He was broke, had no money but wanted to know if I could do some album art for him. He was inviting some friends and artists to tamper with a drawing he had of himself. I checked out his website and liked what I saw, especially how he looked. Check him out here. So I said yes. Plus it would make for a good blog entry. I posted the b&w drawing he sent to me,(it's the one on the bottom). Of course I had to elaborate on his sketch. I turned the name underneath into a medalion. I found another photo of him I liked so I drew that as a second head. I did that because I wanted to draw my own version of him too. It was a fun little assignment and I'm pleased how it came out. I'm sure the little freak is thrilled too.

Just think, he could be the next Eminem! And then he'll give you royalties for illustrating his first CD!
I bet he is thriller indeed! You gave the original drawing a really cool turn.
Great take Tommy.
