HAM the Illustrator 🇬🇧🇳🇦

You already know when @wingstopuk reach out for a project I have to take it to the next level 🚀 Truly honoured and privileged to have been a part of their biggest ever UK launch; from ideation to execution, this project was nothing but a pleasure to work on. Huge shoutout to @wingstopuk and @creativenerdsuk for believing in me, trusting the vision and helping bring this crazy idea to life 🤝 Seeing my work out in the world is always amazing; but even more so when the staff and customers are all as hyped about the design as i am, not to mention wearing it The whole thing, start to finish, was truly one for books 🤌🏾 P.S. incase you were wondering why I chose this song for this post; @omygoshitsddoublee performed at the launch too (check slide 7) 😎 … Anyone been to the Stratford Westfield Wingstop restaurant yet? Spot any staff rocking the design? 👀

“CHAMBER” (Playtober Day 27) In the ‘90s, the Wu-Tang Clan revolutionized hip-hop with “Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)” – a watershed moment. Their fusion of gritty realism and mystic philosophy set them apart. The metaphorical “Chamber” became emblematic of their collective strength, inviting listeners into their world. This debut catapulted them to stardom, showcasing the talents of RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa, and Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Each member’s distinct flavour enriched the ensemble, forming a symphony of voices that transcended ego. Beyond music, the Wu-Tang Clan’s influence permeated fashion and film. The iconic “W” logo symbolized authenticity and originality. Their adaptability and unwavering commitment to their roots showcased remarkable longevity in an ever-changing industry. Their legacy endures, an indelible mark on hip-hop and beyond. The Wu-Tang Clan remains celebrated as pioneers who opened the Chamber doors to a new era of musical expression. Artist note: I don’t have too much experience working in this comic book style of drawing and really struggled with figuring out the blackout shading but I honestly learned so much and had a load of fun making it. Shamefully haven’t finished this piece 100% yet but i promise I will have it done in time for my christmas print sale 😎🎄 #WutangForever @methodmanofficial @rza @therealgza @realghostfacekillah @oldirtybastardlegacy @ugod_zilla @ins_tagrams @mastakillamusic @raekwon

// Sketchbook closeups ↳ A few characters + doodles from the archives…. Which one is your fav? #sketchbooktour

// “Humans Suck” (2020) ↳ Character designs from a concept NFT collection I never launched because I felt like the hype around NFTs were a scam. lol Probably why they all look bored and pissed off #sketchbooktour

Might not make sense now but one day it might #sketchbooktour

Severely underestimated the cold in Cape Town so had to improvise First time I’ve ever done two murals in a single day and somehow all in under 3-4 hours. … Quick backstory 🇿🇦 Scottesville is a “hood” here in Kraaifontein, Cape Town notorious for gangs and violent crime but at the same time filled with some of the dopest and most lovely people too. The slogan written on the wall “too much guns in town” had been written many years ago by some local artists and instead of covering it up, I decided to add to it in the only way I knew how. Little did I know, that same day I would meet the very artist (shoutout Adriaan) and fortunately, he loved the piece and gave me his blessing. Ofc when I chose my cans I had no idea what location we were going to paint in and so it should come as no surprise the colours don’t match the slogan. I did the best I could with what I had I think it came out pretty decent all things considered. … Which of the two do you prefer - this or the one I shared yesterday? … Shoutout Chew, Eve, Flowr, Mapes, Edam and Grips Special thanks to Phil, Adriaan and Peoples Unity to Save Community #streetart #muralartist #southafricanart #capetown

Cape Town. We done our thang. 🇿🇦🍉 Shoutout to the gang. Can’t tag ya but you know who you are … #capetown #streetart #muralartist #southafricanart #kraaifontein

Listen, I know I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, so I just wanted to say why… I’ve been quietly working on something new over the last year that I’m genuinely really excited about for the first time in a really long time. I’ll share more soon, but for now just know it’s called @4sytewrld . If you’re curious, go follow that page. More soon.
