I've been working on this for a while. It's an illustration of Miles Davis' Second Quintet which included Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter and Ron Carter. They're one of my favorite groups of musicians so I felt they deserved to be my (sort of) last illustration for college! I'm also putting together a design for a compilation album focusing on the group.
I made a video of the process behind the piece.
We had an assignment for my web design course which involved making a site for a furniture designer. The size is pretty compact, since it had to fit within the classroom's projector resolution. But I think it works well. Click the image to visit the site. Hopefully, you're not using Internet Explorer.
Bone Burnisher – Ghost
I made a new beat. It's called "Ghost". Click the play button above to hear it. I'm entering a beat battle at an art show which I'll also have some of my work featured in next Friday. It's being done by the VCU Student Hip-Hop Organization. It should be interesting! Wish Bone Burnisher luck... Haha.
Doing my best Reid Miles impression. A little strange considering Miles Davis wasn't on Blue Note Records at the time. But Herbie, Wayne and Tony were, so... Also, Blue Note and Sony would probably never collaborate on a compilation.
I don't know how I got this done in one night. Anyway, it's an assignment based on a National Geographic article on the changing culture in Bhutan since the introduction of TV and the internet to the country. When asked whether he proffered 50 Cent or the king, a kid said something like "I don't know. I like them both equally." Yeah...
