Last year, when I was thinking about illustration, the word ill just wouldn't get out of my head.
The word ill has a few different meanings, most generally it is used when one is feeling "sick" or "under the weather," "flu-like," or when you find yourself on the toilet for most of the day.
Ill (as well as Sick), also means that something is awesome, cool, sweet, badass, etc. (please refer to Urban Dictionary)
So, I, Mama Cass, being the sickest ILLustrator comin out of the Southwest, am happy to present to you my latest painting, "I'm Sick"
And as Dre puts it, "Baby girl, you only as funky as your last cut."
Enjoy the funk:
Some metallic silver and gold, yeah this is my sort of bling.
I had done this original drawing in 2011, experimenting with some spray paint and collage to make this first version which hung at Trenton's Art All Night show last summer.
Process:
It wasn't until my dear friend Paul came to visit from Germany and requested this piece specifically for his bathroom that I painted the original drawing. Hope this makes your toilet time the illest!
Love, Mama Cass
