I have been sitting on these drawings for over 6 months and finally got around to finishing them. The late rappers 2Pac and Biggie. Maybe cheesy but the title of the 2Pac piece is "Tupacaderm". I felt pressed to finally finish these because I have a meeting at Atlantic records tommorow and needed some more music related pieces for my portfolio. I guess a lot of times when I illustrate rappers I try to delaflate the "gangsterness" quality in them, flipping how you think of them. and since i've been getting so many calls from hip hop magazines lately i've had a bunch of chances to do that.

These are terrific, Jason. Not only are these fine caricatures, but you can see the amount of thought you put into the concepts and design behind them. That's a rare gift for an illustrator.
Nicely done!
I love the painterly caricatures with the simplicity of suits. They remind me of the Sergeant Peppers movie!
Really fine stuff Jason. The serene colors add to the heavenly thing you have going.
