Leone's Urban Adventures (series) 6
Conned on April 8, 2007
Basically I searched for photos which would be defined as Ghetto, Street, Gangster, Urban, and then I used Adobe photoshop to draw myself in.
It's all about my gangster side, but being black/white it also makes me an outsider. So it's all about me being black on the inside and white on the outside.
Another way of looking at it is me, and other random creatures, exploring the world of Urban. I tried to choose pictures of the most secret/ghetto places. So there arn't normally alot of people and there probably lots of vandalism :)! Yes!
Turns out these creatures weren't as random as I though they were…Monkeys: “Monkey on my back” famous lyrics, but it's supposed to be a symbol of mischief. The monkey on the back of someone makes you do bad stuff :) And then there's the serpant.
We all know the evil serpant's story.
So, Enjoy one of my favourite series :)

oh i love this series very creative!!!! urban scenes intrigue me with all the vandalism and manufactured colors and such. and the cartoonism you added to the real life pictures is facinating!!! i wish i could come up with something like that such a good idea!!!

Pretty much, it's hard, I've changed alot in the past years so my mental image of myself is different to what it is. I can get the jaw line, skin colour, hair type, figure. The basics. But it's cartoony almost, deatils like birthmarks and beauty spots wouldn't fit. The only big thing is I seem to have drawn my legs shorter.

You look very relaxed. I am pleased. Is your drawing representation of yourself accurate to the real thing?
