Portrait of DMX

The goal for this project was to create a cover for The New York Times magazine highlighting a particular musical artist, in my case, the rapper DMX. DMX (Earl Simmons) was known for his aggressive style and his lyrics covered everything from hardcore themes to prayers. I wanted to capture these features in my portrait which I feel has a nice balance between the calm and the aggressive.
