RZA: As Bobby Digital in Stereo

Yeh yeh, chicks, cars, guns it’s a dissemination of male fantasies…sure..whatever. Cliched hiphopism aside Bill Sienkiewiczs‘ cover art for The RZA as Bobby Digital debut was a sweet deal for any fans of comic art and 70’s/80’s movie posters.

The composition is all Indiana Jones/Bond/Star Wars of the late 70’s/early 80’s (Sienkiewicz actually did some poster art for Return of the Jedi) with that collage of movie moments at various scales thing that I can’t get enough of.

-Plus the washed out pastels make it look old and less cartoony, more ‘designy’ like Robert McGinnis‘ Bond posters.

Replete with fake movie titles - it’s classy and detailed. If I’d come up with some out there alter-ego who’s all about bitches,guns,coke and high tech weaponry and my commisioned artist handed this in, I’d be well chuffed.

  2. Reminds me a lot of Japanese hip-hop group m-flo’s cover for their Replacement Percussionists album a few years back.

  3. can u get a poster of this???

  4. This was always one of my favorite covers, being a comic book fan.

  5. It’s almost a carbon copy of Galt McDermot’s “Cotton Comes To Harlem”. And it’s really good.
