Scrapped Zine Art

I think most creative people have constant fits and starts. I do. This work is cozy in that category. 

I was wanting to create a zine for a long time that combined a couple things I’m still obsessed with: 80s/90s music and the sports stars of that same era (and baseball cards). Stretching that idea into a full concept never quite happened, but as I was trying to figure it out, I created several pieces that would be included. These are they. 

Andre Rison and Left Eye from TLC combined with Unbroken; Ian Mackeye and Chuck D getting the baseball card treatment (‘87 Topps and ‘87 Fleer, respectively); a commemoration of one the best dunk contests ever with Dee Brown and Shawn Kemp; a good ol’ Converge spread of a photograph I took probably in 1995; and Bo Jackson, for good measure. Some of these may become shirts someday.
