I like the detail in MCA's beard and use of color!

Effing Awesome. Don't know how you did that, but that is fresh. Nice attention to detail. And I like that it feels recent. Age like wine.

Wow...that's great. Do you ever make prints from these?

[RobMoney$]

You live in Fishtown, don't you?

I plan to show work influenced by this great city of Philadelphia and the people that came from here. Hence the Phillies and Eagles pieces, the Crumb piece, the Black Thought and Questlove pieces in my portfolio will be on display, as well as pieces featuring Fresh Prince-era Will Smith, Hall and Oates, and Teddy Pendergrass among others.

You sir, ROCK!

Yep, prints are available upon request for most of the pieces.

Yessir! Relocated from North East Philly to Fishtown 5 years ago.

You sir, ROCK!

Thanks! Just trying to open eyes to the fact that Philadelphia is just as important culturally as any other city! Too often I see artists that think Philly is just a stepping stone to New York. I'd like to see more of our artists stay and make the effort to make Philly the cultural powerhouse it should be.

Shit-hot! Awesome tribute (y)

I love your work. I'm an illustrator myself (albeit in the 'can't really draw so I just make shapes in Illustrator' mould) so a twitter following is definitely in order ;)

[Randetica]

neatly nice (y)

All my work is done by hand. I'm terrible on a computer.

with MCA, so moving...

[cypressphil]

Great piece of artwork, you are one talented artist!(y)

[Kid Presentable]

How much would you ship one to AU for? PM me I might be interested.

Fucking incredible illustration in any case. (y)

[sab0tage]

Yep, prints are available upon request for most of the pieces.

I'd be interested in a print. Would you ship to the UK?

[RYSillustration]

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'll have details for prints Monday or Tuesday, and I will PM everyone that says they are interested then. Thanks again for taking the time to look at my work, much appreciated.

[Franci]

I love it! :) you're super good (y)

[RichieT.]

Dude. So nice. I'm an artist too, but man, you absolutely nailed this piece. I hear you on the Philly art scene, we feel the same way here in Buffalo. Compared to our population we have a huge amount of galleries. Good luck sir and thank you for the amazing tribute to Adam. (y)

:cool: cool, i agree...you nailed it. (y)

Saw this for sale last night at in Fishtown.
$300.

Fishtown is Philly's equivalent to Williamsburg Brooklyn in NYC.
Gentrification is taking over a once run down neighborhood. Tons of warehouses being turned into art galleries and the like.
Every first Friday of the month they have tons of exhibits and live music.
Last night I was there and saw this hanging in a really cool tattoo shop.
I think Christopher Rys is a tattoo artist there.

[Princess1987]

An amazing piece your very talented!
