Who is Lupe Fiasco? I really did not know when I chose him as a subject. As it turns out he is pretty good rap artist with a smooth sound. I just loved the name and the challenge of capturing his likeness in a geometric style. This is portrait number three in my Memorial Day weekend illustration marathon. I am shifting my color palette on each work to explore different harmonies and tonal relationships. A bold black shape is always the first element I begin with, adding color only after this first visual element creates a satisfactory design. This technique was inspired by the black and white design exercises that MACA students do in the intro to design course at Macomb Community College.
