GOODGOTALMIGHTY! The fam SOLO, snapped on this one. This is his tribute for the Beastie Boys, Fight For Your Right (to Party) video. He done drew up every single character that appears in the video. What strted as a character study turned into this masterpiece. #TIGERBLOOD Peep the entire “Piece” and words from SOLO at el jumpo.
I’ve always been a Beastie Boys fan. One day, I was watching the FFYR video and had the idea to draw every single person that appears in the video.
It started out as a simple excercise in character design and quickly grew into a serious project. A few tally revisions and 49 days later and this mission is complete, with a total of 42 characters done.
When researching for this I came across a photo of Elijah Wood, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride dressed as the Beastie Boys for a new video called “Make Some Noise”.
Turns out the video and the FFYR Revisited short was made last year and debuted at Sundance and 2011 is the 25th Anniversary of the L.T.I. album with the new album; “Hot Sauce Committee, Part2” dropping this Tues. May, 3rd. What a coincidence! As if I needed anymore motivation to do this.
So, here it is. I hope you like it!
Big ups to the Beastie Boys for sharing your music with the world and inspiring countless others to do the same… Please accept this as a personal ‘thank you’ for all the good times we’ve shared, albeit indirectly.
-Solo.
