All Natural Inc. artists Kenautis Smith and Blackspade are getting ready to launch their new project, Motivational Tool. The Chicago duo had a specific vision for the artwork and provided me with the cover pics. The rest was up to me. Be on the lookout for this release!

Along with this release, they will also be putting out a 7 inch record for hip hop purists.
Here is a recent video of one of the cuts off of the album entitled "The Closing"

MUSIC: All Natural Inc. | MC ADAD

All Natural Inc., a well respected Chicago based label, hit me up to create artwork for their artist MC ADAD. They provided me with a couple of pictures and just let me roll with it. The first cover was a single called Space Invaders featuring Fashawn and Naledge from Kids in the Hall.

Then came the mixtape named "P.S. I'm Next"

MC ADAD is a solid artist with nice flows and great wordplay. I've had the opportunity to perform with him and he definitely knows how to rip the mic as well as skillfully wield a camera.  

Big ups to ADAD and the ALL NATURAL family tree.

It's been a while and I have been crazy busy...time to catch up! This project was a t-shirt design for Chicago-based label All Natural, Inc. and Uprise Skateshop. They basically wanted to do a shirt that celebrated their longevity in the game. I sent them a few designs, but they settled on the record and skateboard combo separated by the Chicago stars. It took a couple back and forth emails to get the vintaging on the record and deck correct, but in the end, we were all happy with the outcome.
