Hip hop portraiture

There’s an outstanding exhibit at the National Portrait Gallery on Hip Hop Art. The portraits are, of course, marvelous. That is LL Cool J above. The best part is the coat of arms, in the top right. I’ll try to blow it up a little.

If you don’t happen to live in DC, you can listen to an interview with the artist Kehinde Wiley or see the exhibit here.

Sadly, this will probably be my first and last blog post ever on LL Cool J.
