Beats, Rhymes and Life

I'm in the middle of doing another painting (I know, right?!) but in the meantime here's a custom Mini Munny that I did a while ago:


Painted with acrylic. The flagpole is a wooden dowel. The flag is white denim - it was stiff enough to hold the flag shape without needing constant wind :) - and coloured with Sharpie markers and white paint.

This little fella, standing proud at 11cm (4 1/4" in The Queen Measurements™) initially had an acrylic lily painted on his head. It was going to be a gift for a friend but I decided not to finish it, and instead repainted him as something completely different. Much simpler but different nonetheless. I decided on making him into the red and green figure found on many of A Tribe Called Quest's albums:


I think I was going through an ATCQ phase at the time and I listened to all of their albums from start to finish. My Munny is based on the cover artwork of Beats, Rhymes and Life. This cover is also my favourite as it's done in a graffiti style and I'm partial to a bit of graff:


So yeah, that's that. My painting will be posted when it's done, that or it will be put in the bin if it turns into a disaster.
