"The Originals", 10x20 , 2013 , 2 Color with Metallic Ink
For this serigraph I took a new approach to working with typographic personalities. Rather than basing the accessories off of the typeface itself, I assigned each letter a person to be modeled after. In this case, I was inspired by classic rap and hip hop artists.
As you may have guessed, the starting "G" represents Notorious B.I.G. Next, the "A" represents Jay-Z, followed by the "N" which portrays Public Enemy, more specifically Flava-Flav. The second "G" represents Run DMC. The "S" and the "T" are loose representations of Eazy-E and Dr. Dre. Lastly, the "A" portrays Tupac.
In the detail photo, the use of metallic silver ink for the accessories can be seen.
