Kanye West
Every year the music blog Hype Machine asks artists to create portraits for the top 50 artists. This year they asked me to do one for Kanye. Despite his weird ego tirades, I’ve been a fan since his first record. The songs are almost always great, and what other rapper is so supportive of animation? He’s either used or referenced Bill Plympton, Ralph Bakshi, Takashi Murukami, and Jim Henson to direct his videos!

- agreed: even with his ego changes, he’s a universal artist, & is great at what he does. this picture is amazing, too.
