Back in 2018, a close friend of mine wanted a cool character of himself developed to use as his profile picture for his social media handles. It was very important that the character had the style, tattoos, neck and wristwear, and even ‘Metallic’ Air Jordan V’s sneakers on to feel authentic to my client.

We decided to take some inspiration from the cover of Pharrell Williams “In My Mind” and vintage Ice Cream & Bathing Ape characters to create his own.

The character was refreshed in 2021 to fit my clients new look with dreadlocks!
