KanYe Bear Varsity Team

Kanye Bear Varsity Here's some unfinished worked. Of course my sketch is inspired by Murakami's design with a few modifications. The final piece will be fully colored and upgraded. For this character-design I decided to cut the cute animal factor and humanize him. That makes it easier to dress him up. There's sure to be a tutorial and an animated gif coming soon. I guess at some point they will release the cool animated video for Good Morning, if you haven't seen it you can probably check it out somewhere on YouTube. Or who knows, they may add the video to a special Graduation DVD product. So does the creative team of Ralph Lauren's Polo get recognition for all of West's CD covers or do the fans hail Kanye as a creative visionary. Either way its good to see a recording artist who understands the importance of his visual performance and marketing. Judging by his Grammy Awards performance, the Glow in the Dark Tour should be an interesting affair. Personally Kanye West's Grammy performance was tight. His vocals were measured and clear for his emotional performance of "Mama." The visuals for "Stronger" were straight out of the '80s but cool nonetheless. There were a bunch of great performers during the 50th Anniversary of the Grammy Awards. I particularly enjoyed Alicia Keys and Herbie Hancock. The young kid who sang for Cirque de Soleil sounds promising. The Time may be an old band but I'm not tired of watching their act.

Graduation Remix

This would probably be a bad idea, although I can imagine some one attempting to put together a 'Ye mix project. The project would be good just remove the Drunk and Hot Girls track, that's not really close to funny and the Barry Bonds track featuring a lackluster throw-a-way Wayne verse. The CD has been thoroughly dissected by Brandon Soderberg during his Kanye West Week review. Props. I was thinking about added more blood and maybe throwing Ye-Bear in some samurai outfit anime style. The artwork is not close to complete, but what would you do to make it hot? If someone came up with a crazy idea, I just might post it.
