A friend here on DA posted a [link] where some guy is stealing DA art and selling it as his own (for 20 - 30 euros). I saw this particular piece among the group and thought I should let you know.
It's a great piece by the way. Just sucks that someone's trying to steal your hard work.

I was a fiend before I became a teen.
I melted microphones insted of cones of ice cream.
I liked that pic of The 'R' in the ad and you ripped it lovely. I don't know what vector is [not up on my illustrator terminology], but this is sweeter than finesse mahogany. A great pic of one of the GOATs in hip hop.

Thanks for the comment and the trip down nostalgia's lane. I gotta break his albums out again.
Vector is the format that the illustrator application uses to render. It's basically a series of lines that could be scaled to any size without losing any fidelity.

Is that how when you create a layer over the original work and use that application to clean up the linework?
Don't laugh, I'm just lost.
Yeah, I have his latest release The 18th Letter and The Master. There's a bonus disc with ALL the bangers from Eric B and Rakim. Pure hip hop head gold.

wow, not only is this a great vector, but it's also great design (with the framing + circles). Monotone colours work well for it too
