Incredible illustrator Paul Stone has announced that he is putting the original artwork for Rap Gods up for sale.
Rap Gods, illustrated in pen, ink and acrylic is nothing short of amazing.
In regards to the piece, Paul says: "Hip-hop has always been my major passion; the music I've followed fanatically since my teens. As its title implies, Rap Gods brings together many of the genre's key players (some for the very first time), including Ice Cube, Big Boi, Flavor Flav, Guru, Ice-T, Eminem, Q-Tip, Xzibit, DMC, Snoop Dogg, KRS-One, 2Pac, Redman, Jay-Z, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Kool Keith, Rakim, Dr Dre, Posdnous, Nas, Pete Rock, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, Mos Def, Chuck D, Notorious BIG, Slick Rick and Method Man."
Chuck D of Public Enemy says: "When I saw Paul Stone's work I recognized a soulful feeling that went further than his graphic brilliance. He captures a mood within his detail. This is important, since very few illustrators are as connected to hip-hop and rap. I recognized that he could create two covers for Public Enemy that would speak loudly for years to come - if only for his art alone."
Paul is also currently hard at work on several new pieces, including one featuring Jay-Z and the other featuring Ghostface vs MF Doom.
