Kanye West Portrait Prep, Study and a Visit to Jeremy Penns Atelier

Mood Board Kanye by Borbay

The second portrait in my series following Jay-Z will be Kanye. To prepare, I hung out with some H.A.M.’s last night. The location? Jeremy Penn‘s studio. The event? Four Loko, hip-hop beats and three artists slinging paint. After the jump, a quasi-Kanye study and some atelier shots.

Ari and me stepped in a monster ice puddle on 23rd Street, so here he is drying his shoes with Jeremy’s heat gun.

Kanye West Study by Borbay

A bizarre 12″X30″ Kanye study, which I created from both Jeremy’s Kanye drawing and William Murphy, the star of Jeremy’s new series.
