I enthusiastically said yes and went straight to my sketchbook (to see the sketches go here or here). I took to the computer and out came these two designs. Check them out!

Lately I’ve been on a Hip-Hop kick, listening to Frank Ocean, Kanye, and Drake.


The last song on Drake’s album, Take Care, is called The Ride and I can’t stop listening to it. Here is a “Type-Tribute” to the song out of my sketchbook.
