A little while back in January I posted Defining Classic Hip Hop Art, briefly discussing Hip Hop visual aesthetics and criterion. Continuing with the study into hip hop arts and graphics, I'm setting out to create a set of graphics and icons. Usually when I see visual hip hop symbols they're usually limited to representations of a microphone, turntables, audiotapes or the antiquated but ubiquitous boombox. I plan on expanding the set of icons and breaking away from the set of stereotypical graphics used to illustrate urban graphics.
These two graphics are inspired by 50's graphics. I am fan of some of the retro art and thought it would be interesting to view it with a bit of flavor. As usual, I got to have fun with early 90's hairstyles and all the variations of the cameo-afro. Word Up, Larry Blackmon. I plan on going crazy with the women hairstyles, door knockers are a must!!
Any hairstyle or style you would like to see retro 50's style? Tag Archive for 'retro-art'
