    I caught up with the fastest man in the world....

    In October 2018, Sporting legend Usain Bolt opened his Caribbean Restaurant Track and Records in London.  Besides featuring a vinyl art and canvas art piece in the restaurant I also had the opportunity to meet him on the official launch night. I presented him with vinyl art piece of one of his music icons, Bob Marley. It was such a great night and  if  you have a chance to visit and checkout the Mama Breeze cocktail ; ) Below are the pieces featured at the Tracks and Records

    Lord Finesse is certainly Hip to the Game...

    The talented Hip-Hop producer/ artist and DJ Lord Finesse, is someone I have huge admiration for and have been a fan of his music since the 90's.  I painted two pieces for him.  The first was a commissioned portrait on his single 'Party Over Here'.  The second was on The Notorious B.I.G album 'Ready to Die’, on which Finesse produced the track 'Suicidal Thoughts'. #art #theartfulfro #biggiesmalls #notoriousbig #hiphop #vinylart #lordfinesse #vinylart #artvinyl

    I'm the Painter he's the DJ...

    On a London stop off whilst on tour I had the great pleasure to meet the world-renowned DJ and co-star of the iconic series ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ DJ Jazzy Jeff.  I presented him with a unique vinyl art piece on his 'The Magnificent’, which really is as the title suggests. #hiphop #djjazzyjeff #vinylart #artvinyl #art #hiphop

    The Fresh (DJ) Prince

    I am a huge fan of the adorable DJ Prince.  He has been DJing from such a young age and is already a recognised professional of his craft.  So when he asked to be featured on a vinyl art piece with one of his favourite rappers Big Daddy Kane how could I refuse? #theartfulfro #art #djprince #vinylart #artvinyl #dj #vinyl

    Rocking the airways with UK's finest Mr. Dex..

    In the run up to my 'Different Strokes' exhibition I was invited for an interview with Mr. Dex on his Itch FM show 'The DeX Files', to talk about all things art and music.  I love his show, so I presented him with a vinyl art painting of one of his favourite rapper's Ghostface Killah on his debut album 'Ironman' to say thank you for his support. #theartfulfro #art #artvinyl #vinyl #ghostfacekillah #mrdex #watchoutnow

    Pete Rock and CL Smooth

    Truly an honour to have met and one of my favourite Hip-Hop duos Pete Rock & CL Smooth after their performance at London’s Jazz Cafe. I created a personal piece on their classic single 'T.R.O.Y' which they kindly signed for me. Having previously met Pete, he spoke of his admiration for James Brown, whom he met as a kid. So I presented him with a vinyl art piece on his favourite James LP 'Reality'. #theartfulfro #art #vinylart #artvinyl #peterock #clsmooth #vinyl

    A commission I did for British actor and comedian Richard Blackwood. This piece features him alongside his icon, the legendary comedian Richard Pryor.  This image was taken from one of my favourite photographs of Richard Pryor with Gene Wilder. #richardblackwood #richardpryor #art #canvas
