Hello Everyone!

Please check out my newest series... "Hip-Hop'' consists of 5 original paintings.

This series shows how music in the genre of hip-hop is materialistic, and it represents the subject of its culture.

I have researched selected images from the Snoop Dogg's (featuring Pharrell) Drop It Like Its Hot music Video. The images were selected from the video using Adobe Premier Pro CS3; selecting certain frames to compose the series.

I selected a main image of Snoop Dogg. He is one of the most popular hip-hop artists. He has become an icon of gangster rap & hip-hop. I formatted all of the canvas to the widescreen ratio. In terms of the painting, it stretches from 8 feet in length and 4 feet in height! It is very large! It is also built with 4 inches in demension.

In proximity to the large piece, since it is a series, I've decided to create the smaller pieces to the same proportions. So they are built at 3 feet in length and 1.5 feet in height, each. There are 4 of these pieces in total, 2 on each side to balance everything, creating symmetry.

Check it out and please give some serious feedback! Thank you so much!
