I am happy to unveil the newest addition to the Hall of Crowns , “From Kitchens to Concerts.” Painted for the big homie Waka Flocka , this crown comes complete with my own adaptation of the “BSM” logo. On the left side of the brim is the kitchen with coke in the pot and a gram on the scale. On the right side of the brim is a sold out concert arena screaming “Flocka!” as they wait for him to hit the stage. To bring the crown together I painted this piece on an Atlanta Falcons snapback. Shoutout the whole Brick Squad Monopoly! #TBOQ …FOR THE ROYAL.

“Freedom” front view

Greetings Royal Fam,

I am happy to present to you the newest addition to the Hall of Crowns and a product of my boredom, ”Freedom.” A simple yet powerful statement, I painted “Be Free” behind 3 red lines representing the restrictions we’ll encounter in life. Despite them, we all pursue happiness in our own capacity. Maintain freedom of mind, body, soul, speech, etc. and may the force be with you. #TBOQ …FOR THE ROYAL

Above the brim view

Greetings Royal Fam,

I introduce to you all the newest addition to the Hall of Crowns , “Everything is Purple” $200. As you can tell, I drew inspiration from A$AP Rocky ‘s music as well as the whole crew. This crown is one gigantic painting. Every detail on the hat has been hand painted by me.

This particular crown features a portrait of Pretty Flacko himself, A$AP Rocky, on the top of the brim, a hypnotist cyclone on the underside…a zoner’s treat, and a “A$AP x TBOQ” logo hand painted on the back of it.

I really enjoyed creating this crown and I hope you queens and kings will enjoy looking at it. Thanks for the love…you are all royal.

Greeting Royal Fam,

Welcome the latest addition to the Hall of Crowns , a tribute piece to “YO! MTV Raps” as requested by “The Prez Show” creator @VeeAye4Prez . I really enjoyed painting this piece because of the nostalgia that arose as well as watching “Rock the Bells” recap performances during the process. I suggest watching Curren$y’s set, he kills it! Anyway, I hope you queens and kings enjoy this piece.

Be sure to check out “The Prez Show” for all up-and-coming musician coverage, along with other dopeness.

“Recognize Greatness: Usain Bolt”

Greetings Royal Fam,

I am pleased to debut the first crown in the “Recognize Greatness” series, and newest addition to the Hall of Crowns , Usain Bolt! $200

Now let’s discuss the features. First, the title, “‘Lightening’ Struck Twice.” I used the word “lightening” rather than “lightning,” which obviously plays off Usain’s last name, to reference the immense impact he had on those that witnessed his Olympic feats. I consider us to be enlightened by his performance. We were allowed the privilege of seeing the greatest sprinter of all time not only set two world records in Beijing ’08, but repeat as champion in both events in London ’12. Nobody can deny the magnitude of such an accomplishment. Also present in the title are both his Beijing and London gold medals.

Within Usain Bolt’s portrait I placed the Jamaican flag in his left eye to show respect to the country he so proudly represents. Lastly, the underside of the brim is painted with cheetah print which references the unequaled speed that Bolt possesses. Every aspect of this hat is hand painted, literally making it one giant work of art. It is the only one of it’s kind in the world! Check the gallery for more pics!

I hope you all enjoy viewing this piece as much as I enjoyed making it.
