"MF Qarz"

MF Qarz/Qart Hedgeson


The internet is a funny place. This design was originally named "MF Qarz".
However, it was probably too on the nose for the copyright sharks.

Re-named to Qart Hedgeson, this mash up of "MF DOOM", "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Quasimoto" and "Bart Simpson" shouldn't have gotten such a rough take down
due to just how ridiculous the amalgamation is....and such obvious parody too.

Qart could always use more love, so check this design out it
 is currently available on a tonne of products via Redbubble.

Current Qart Hedgeson variations

Wanting to get the most of these designs, multiple editions were a must.
Mixing my collage art with my pencil art seemed to fit perfectly.
Actually, come to think of it, there does appear to be missing styles
that would fit perfectly in place with this design....
Further, Unseeing Edition and "MF Qarz" Original

Look out for more Shadeprint designs flying up on on both



Might as well mention also make music, check out my bandcamp for
my entire discography or my Soundcloud if your prefer to make some
kind compliments.

Beat Dump 6. The Influences: Blu

Beat Dump 6: The Influences
Blu
(@HerFavColor)


So Beat Dump 6 is out & since we've come this far I guess it's time to discuss
influences and other stuff that might catch a few eyes and ears.

Blu is one of those rapper/producers I've been listening to before he had
a wikipedia page. I'm not even 100% sure how I came across this guy.
What felt like a bombardment of quality rhymes over soulful beats, from
"Below the Heavens" as a basic premise of who Blu is, to "Her Favorite Colo(u)r"
a mellow dream-like journey entirely self-produced, to "NoYork" (later renamed simply "York") an experimental, psychedelic trek with a hint towards a push toward
mainstream appeal.

  

Blu's entire journey, as a producer or working with the likes of Exile, Madlib or Dibia$e
taught me a lot about how to flip a sample and how to be tactful with drums
and percussion's. Similar to Hip-Hop's supervillain DOOM, Blu is also masterful with
his collages of skits and dialogue samples; "Her Favorite Colo(u)r" or the lesser known "no york e mo rmx" creating atmospheric scenery piece-by-piece, leading to an
(arguably) 
near flawless aesthetic for the entirety of the project.

Uncompromising in his approach, Blu has pushed a few projects with vintage or
extremely lo-fi presentation (sometimes to the ire of his fanbase), personally this
taught be a lot, sometimes creative direction takes priority over accessibility,
especially considering whatever statements you want to make, ideas you
want to get across or seeds you wish to sow.

There is TOO MUCH to go on about concerning this guys body of work,
I could talk about "Johnson & Jonson", the obvious go to guy "(So)ul Amazing",
"theGodleeBarnes(lp)", "Jesus" or "Give Me My Flowers While I can Smell Them"
all day. Blu is one of the few emcees who's flaws enhance his strengths.

#ShadeprintHomeEntertainment

Once again another collection of fine Shadeprint designs have graced the internet with their fabulous presence.

Since the last collection, Redbubble have expanded their inventory so to speak and now designs can be smeared onto even more stuff than you'll able to mention in a single tweet.

Since the holocaust of Shadeprint Designs (Feb 2014), this new collection has become part of a new body of work populating the store, asides from filling slots though, outside of a revival, these new collections aim to improve on past collections...


Under the suicidally unnecessary tag..

#ShadeprintHomeEntertainment
Retro games that never were are finally available to wear, drink out of, carry, stick to your wall and even sleep enveloped in...

Take a look at the various things you can get these designs on via the store, stuff like phone case, and iPad covers are available too:

Shadeprint Clothing delivers

Back to the Future Fresh Flyness.

As a big fan of the Back to the Future series [Like so many others], within this library of Redbubble
clothing designs are many pieces you can wear, hang on a wall, stick on a laptop or buy for a friend.

Nobody ever uses the 2015 licence plate, so I did...

Clothing design also comes in a horizontal version for those more vertical.

Excellence in Style.
A little more abstract but albeit still enough.


The Legendary Goldie Wilson T-Shirt.
This one never lacks attention, but still could use more...
