Happy 50th Hip-Hop! Here’s some hip-hop themed pics from my archives and a few record sleeves I’ve had the pleasure of illustrating. Thank you, DJ Kool Herc and all the other pioneers.

Skara Brae is the best preserved Neolithic settlement in Western Europe. Situated on the western coast of the Orkney Mainland, it was rediscovered after a vicious storm peeled off the tops of a group of sand dunes to reveal prehistoric stone buildings. 🎧 podfollow.com/the-ancients/e…

The sadly defunct Olympic Café, a grand old diner that used to be on Geary St in San Francisco. I had many great breakfasts there. Casein on board. I am very much liking casein and tipping my hat to James Gurney for alerting me to this lovely paint.
