Misery Competition

All of the posted links are SFW.

I feel like I really did a lame thing this week in not really pushing the boundaries of what I could do. The topic is the 1980's. For whatever reason I just couldn't think of anything to do. Which is retarded because there's so many different things you can do. So much creativity came out of the Reaganomics depression.

Anyways, what I came up with is based off of a SKEME piece. I saw it on a documentary called Style Wars that kind of blew my mind and ruined my perceptions.

Here's the original piece:


And here's my version from the safety of my sketchbook, which is why I feel like it's a cop out. I should have gotten out and wrote in the city. Instead I did this from the safety of my couch while watching football.


The best part about SKEME is that he's still writing.

  1. Not a cop out..city will be there for the taking, another day.(encouraging da recklessness, in the name of art..haha;)

    Borrowed theme, but freakin sweet that you pay homage and it's complimentary. Details, nice that the skyline reflects true to that time somewhat.
