CD cover: Loose Kaynon

The cover for Loose Kaynon was a challenge. His management asked me to do a cover design that displayed a blend of African and Western cultures while having influences from pop rock, rap, R&B, and "a bit of down south hip hop". It also had to avoid any hiphop design cliches and be totally original while pitching him as not only a top-flight rapper but also a "ladies man".

I had no idea how to work all that into a design, so I put a blue splatter behind him and it worked just fine.
