Sure Shot...

It’s been an absolute age since I last posted, but trust me, I’ve been nothing but busy working on various pieces of art, including some client work.

My most recent piece is this Beastie Boys tribute illustration. Check it out below and let me know what you think.

Also, if you like it, you can buy prints, T-shirts, stickers and all manner of other goodies featuring the illustration (and many of my other works) at Redbubble: http://www.redbubble.com/people/mark563

Something For The Blunted...

Afternoon all. As ever, life has been crazy, but not so crazy that I didn't have time to flip another new Hip Hop vector illustration.

Cypress Hill were the first Hip Hop act I ever saw live - way back in the mid '90s, touring their breakthrough smash, 'Black Sunday' - supported by another couple of favourites of mine, Lords of The Underground and Funkdoobiest at Brixton Academy. The show was bonkers, and a great introduction to live Hip Hop.

Since then, I've seen Cypress Hill perform a number of times, and have been a longterm, loyal fan. To pay my respects, I knocked up this illustration and thought I'd share it with you.

Check it out below (click to enlarge), and feel free to drop a comment.

That's When Ya Lost...

Afternoon folks. Here's my latest vector illustration homage to a classic Hip Hop album. For this installment, I flipped the West Coast, Hieroglyphics crew, Souls Of Mischief banger, '93 'Til Infinity'.

Check it out below, and feel free to let me know what you reckon.

All the best,

Robert Hunter Cup - 21 October 2012...

What's good, folks? This weekend has been crazy - it was both my wife Corrie, and my Birthdays, so we were busy with those celebrations. On Sunday however, we had an altogether different type of celebration - the celebration of the life of one of the Australian Hip Hop communities much loved, and very missed Robert Hunter / Hunter.

Local legends, Bias-B and Dedlee put together an incredible event - The Robert Hunter Cup - which saw heads from all over the country come together in Melbourne for a charity football match. 

The day was awesome, so super props to everyone involved. Check out some photos I snapped below, and feel free to drop a comment.

Hunter RIP.

Cheers,

They Want EFX...

Back again. I know, I know, I don't update this place nearly as much as I would like to, but real life demands too much of my time. Still, hopefully a new post today will keep you guys satisfied for a while.

This time, I'm back on track with my album illustrations, and this one's a fitting choice, considering the artists in question are about to hit Melbourne for their first ever Australian tour. I've long been a ridiculously crazed Das EFX fan, so felt turning my hand to a sketch of their incredible debut album, 'Dead Serious', was long overdue.

Make sure you check out their live show if you can, and have a butchers at my illustration below (click to enlarge).

Cheers,
