rasimmons asked: how does Pusha's team know you? Thats crazy

They reached out a while back actually. 

I’ve met with them a few times and done/working on some jobs that weren’t for Pusha T but brought to me by people within his circle. 

To be honest I prefer to work with emerging artists, certainly industry relevant because I want people to see my work but not so established or seasoned they’re unwilling to have faith in my vision. I find in my experience emerging artists are far more open to a open discourse of ideas both myself giving feedback on their ideas and artist open to concepts I provide.

rawdizzy asked: killer designs

Thanks. Appreciate it.

rasimmons asked: How did you create the Pusha T polaroid? I love it

Pusha’s team asked me to come up with artwork for the song and one of the designs I created was a re-appropriation of Virgil’s artwork for Good Music singles that have dropped in the last couple weeks and that’s what Pusha and his team selected as the final artwork.

The Polaroid was just part of the process in getting a effect similar to Virgil. It involved creating the graphic on the computer, displaying it on an LCD and then photographing the LCD with a Polaroid land camera, scanning the polaroid and playing around with the colors/saturation. What you’re seeing is the Polaroid just how it looks in real life and prior to the last step of essentially retouching it in the computer.

I’m pretty sure Virgil’s process is/was quite different but the end result is reasonable similar and Pusha and his team seemed satisfied. To be honest it wasn’t my first choice as far as artwork I submitted them after they played me the song on Monday evening, but it’s what they went with…
