Propa doodle block
A couple years ago I made a painting for a friend in exchange for a tattoo, he put it on his wall and got a bunch of super positive feedback. So when Christmas rolled around he called me up and asked me to do a similar piece for his brother as a gift. I designed it to fit together in four different ways- horizontally and vertically, so that the painting works in different spaces and can be moved around if you get bored of it... :P

Grime, Crime and Mutant Gangs- The illustrated mind of Tumba Kevin Makonga
Meeting Mr. Makonga was an experience in inspiration, although I have no idea what he does with his days, it seems that every time I run into him, he has a pile of pens and a sketchbook fused to his fingers. And when you look at his drawings you begin to understand why. The subconscious world that our brains generally relegate to bouts of insanity or nightmares exists in an uneasy truce of consciousness in Mr Makonga’s mind. It bursts out of him via some channel straight from god that ends at the tip of his pen.
The world he is partially living in- Grime Town.
These strange quazi-human scavengers have taken their places at the heads of what appear to be organized and quietly violent gangs of mutant city animals, as protectors, as pimps, or as lords and masters.
The human inhabitants who live in corrugated iron shacks and communicate via fuck-off big eighties cell phones, have mysteriously adopted the fashion sense of Run DMC and flavor flav. The children borne of these human survival-machines, sport gas masks, spray paint, ketties and semi automatic bubble weapons, which they holster in their nappies. Cheeseboys and vandals, these hyper-mature babies of the Grime Town apocalypse must have been raised on an extraordinary diet.
