Questlove – Philly Map Series

This print of Questlove illustrated on a Philadelphia Map could add that unique and local flavor your living room has been looking for.

Sparked by my curiosity to visit the Free Library of Philadelphia, I was able to get my hands on a bunch of old Philly maps which I was inspired to illustrate on. To further my portrait practice, I decided to choose a few well-known iconic personalities who have came out of the area and see where I could take it. This particular piece showcases the personality of Questlove (Ahmir Thompson) from the Legendary Philly based band, The Roots. Even though he is usually busy writing books, drumming with his band and for the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, you can still run into him in Philly from time to time.
