Day 017: Questlove or ?uestlove

Today I was lined up to go party it up at a ?uestlove event out in Brooklyn. You know drinking, dancing and enjoying my Pre-MLK holiday. BUT unlike most people I totally refused to understand the concept of pre-ordering tickets. HAHA ohh the joy of trying to order sold out tix. With no party lined up I decided to stay home and knock out more illustrations. What you see above is the culmination of my poor ticket buy ability.

For this piece I used Adobe Photoshop to create the original illustration of ?uestlove then added textures, type and various lighting techniques to create the final effect. I think its pretty dope for about 2 1/2 hours of work.  I’m currently a few days behind on schedule, 17th day and 14th illustration. No excuses, I told you this was a work in progress. Catch you tomorrow.

    Found your blog, love some of the designs you did. I freelance design for a whole bunch of licensed tee vendors and judging by this design, could definitely work with you on some things. Also, I live in BK and it sounds like you’re around the area. Shoot me an email if you’re interested, thanks
