Artist's Comments

This is a commission that I recieved. The subject is "Mac Dre", a Northern California rapper on the rise. He was shot in Kansas City while driving on the highway. Alot of people think he would have been a huge star if he hadn't been murdered. I knew nothing about the rapper when I first recieved the commission but when looking for reference pictures of him, I learned alot about his career and life. I am pretty happy with the way the drawing turned out. The customer said he wanted "mac dre" in small letters somewhere on the drawing so I put it on the bottom in white letters. Kind of an interesting drawing to do.

14"x17" Bristol Vellum
3B, 3B mechanical pencils
blending stumps, tissue, and q-tips for blending

Kinda ironic- I was just listening to Mac Dre when I clicked on this...

I'm glad someone can appreciate a good rapper who was overlooked by the mainstream crowd.
