Illustrated portfolios always seem to have some sort of mysticism about them that photo’s don’t always capture. There’s just something special about someone taking their time to make sure every stroke of the pencil was correct, that every shade was correct, and every subtle nuance of a figure represented them correctly. The illustrator known as “Mark563” has done all this and then some. Using some of the strongest names in Hip Hop as his subjects, he proves that both his illustration skills, and his knowledge of the legends of the genre are both impeccable.
