ED PISKOR
"PARK DJ". ORIGINAL ARTWORK FOR PAGE 2, VOLUME 1 OF THE HIP HOP FAMILY TREE, 2015
Pencil, ink, and marker on stiff paper (17 by 11 inches), signed "Ed Piskor 2020" at bottom.
"I remember the day I drew this piece, waking up with the composition in my head and excited to see how it would look on paper. The references that inspired it included Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli Batman panels, a few lines in the Kevin Smith movie Chasing Amy where the cartoonists are complimenting one another on how well they drew a streetlight, and some great photos floating around of DJs in the park during this period."
From Fantagraphics, the publisher: "Hip Hop Family Tree Book 1: 1975-1981. From bestselling author and self-proclaimed hip hop nerd Ed Piskor, Hip Hop Family Tree is the entertaining, encyclopedic history of the formative years of the music genre that changed global culture. Originally serialized on the hugely popular website Boing Boing, each volume is cleverly presented and packaged in a style mimicking the Marvel comics of the same era. Piskor
