Tupac

Gone too soon… In a blink of an eye, the creator approaches, and bring forth the gems of life to those who are worthy, and then vanishes…Too soon… Those who contributes the most to life often never live to see the fruit of their labour. They appear and disappear like the genie.

This is part of a series of pieces that I am working on, that shows prominent people in the black culture, looking great, with ancient attire, modernized. Most know of Tupac and Biggie, and their contributions and influences to the culture of hip hop, and rap music, be it negative or positive. I feel its necessary to reflect, and zoom in on the great things that people do over the course of their lives. We should  paint them a golden face, for others who come after to view as motivational tools. We should do this while also acknowledging their faults, and errors, whenever possible. After all, we are also only humans.

Tupac is in red… I also felt to modernize his crown by adding precious stones on the top, as well as incorporate the Gemini sign, with a dash of gold. I also gave him a yellow lit background to identify him as a great being, who came with a lot of love and light, to give to people, even though his environment was that of hell. He was still able to have a large impact on the souls of many, in and outside of the hip hop culture.
