Description
In this illustrated work rapper MF DOOM as King Geedorah is verbalizing his consciousness through the art of beatboxing. Geeodorah is beatboxing a rendition of the Original DMX’s performance on Just-Ice’s The Girl is a Slut (1986). This piece also illustrates Bob Sakuma’s sample for Emblem G (1981) from the animated series Battle of the Planets. Out of these samples emerges my interpretation of the song The Fine Print, King Geedorah (2003). As the graffiti-inspired abstractions form and morph around King Geedorah, the 3-headed monster Ghidorah is conjured from his crown. Out of that smoke and fire explodes the Fiery Phoenix, again, a nod to the animated series Battle of the Planets. Here the Fiery Phoenix is illustrated through my rendition of X-Men artists John Byrne and Terry Austin’s Phoenix power signature from the Dark Phoenix Saga, Marvel comics (1980).
