NME ILLUSTRATION OF SNOOPDOGG / SNOOPZILLA / 7 DAYS OF FUNK

Heres my illustration of Snoop for this weeks NME.  Its for a review of 7 Days of Funk - the eponymous debut studio album from Californian duo “7 Days of Funk”. It's basically Snoop Dogg working alongside modern-funk musician Dâm-Funk.

Influenced by a whole host of 70s and 80's funk and electro-funk pioneers (Zapp, Roger Troutman, Slave, Parliament, Funkadelic etc) its an infectious, modern take on the funk genre. With this one I wanted to go for a slick, airbrush style aesthetic - all keytars, electro tones and Eighties sheen.
