"Bakkie for Hire" - Vinyl Artwork

•

Artwork for a cover to a vinyl mix created by Nombuso Mathibela called "Bakkie for Hire". A brilliant and irreverent vinyl mix put out through Fly Machine Sessions. From the first listen it felt like a lounging session next to someone channel hopping across various Pan-African tv stations on an amazing Sunday afternoon.

The pencils to the first draft of the drawing for the artwork. As a drawing I still really like it, but I almost did no planning before starting it, and I ultimately just didn't feel right for the project so I started over. The fact that the first draft took weeks to wrestle with, while the second drawing took a weekend to complete, made me feel a lot better about my decision to restart.
