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

Richard Blackwood ...
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

Heart to Hart with Kevin...
American actor and comedian Kevin Hart visited the UK on his 'Hartbeat Weekend' tour. I met him at the after party organised by Stylish Nights and presented him with a painting featuring him alongside one of his icons, comedian Richard Pryor. One of my favourite meets : ) #kevinhart #richardpryor #comedy #art #theartfulfro
