Just started on an Illustration for The Fader, an electronic and DJ culture magazine.

The Fader Description:

we a doing a piece on jamaica’s warring dancehall “families”. here’s a very loose background.  The situation almost parallels a biblical tale, cain and abel, or something from greek mythology. the story focuses on bounty killer the father figure and his followers, one of whom vybz cartel has broken away to form his own family and is now challenging/fighting  his “brother” (details to come) and “father” bounty killer himself. interesting in as much as the dark side (vybz) seems to be winning.

Here is a quick sketch of an idea, waiting for feedback now from the AD, let me know what you think of the composition
