YankDEEZ Tee Shirt
1995 the number- another summer. DEAR FYC concept, joshuaSELF drawing, and ROMER 456 hand-to-hand hustle sold hundreds of these YankDEEZ tee shirts mad quick. I know some people still have these in their collection. The YankDEEZ balls logo was on the chest and the commonwealth eagle with the old nyc subway token was on the upper back. I Took these photos of the design a couple of years ago. The shirt is pretty dogged but held up well over the years. I still have the transparency for this somewhere. Reminisce.
Silver Words
This illustration of a Jamaican moonlit night is based on one of my top ranking reggae tunes – Silver Words by the legendary Dennis Brown. Rasta!
Baby I’m not joking
And it’s not what I’m smoking
I really think you’re nice
Don’t think I’m kidding you
And don’t think I’m bidding
That silver words are your price
And Oh if you could see
The change you’ve made in me
That the angels in the skies
Were envious and surprised
That anyone as nice as you
Would chance with me

Boombox soundsystem – Audio II concept art
The one-of-a-kind boombox, Audio2, from the Blokhedz www.MissionG.com webisodes. These are the illustrations I created and gave to our modeler, Michael Gorospe, to create the hero prop. He is equal parts sound system, DJ setup, recording studio, mixer, sampler, drum machine, sequencer, and multi-media playback all stuffed into what appears to be a normal looking radio. Will also get you out of a tight spot, if he’s feeling generous. See Audio2 in action in our animated webisodes on www.MissionG.com There may be a desktop wallpaper size version of this in the near future.
