this dready started with the drawing of the figure on the left … a cool photograph got me doing it and having drawn it i was looking for a setting for him and this began to emerge.
right now i’m calling it ‘upper st andrew life’ (but it could be ‘LA life’ or ‘miami vice’, both of which i also thought about …)
kingston, jamaica, sits in the parish of st andrew and flows from the harbour, kingston itself, through the liguanea and up into the 7 hills that surround the coastal plain.
anything north and east of halfway tree, where the land starts to rise more quickly, is considered ‘upper st andrew’ … and the more upper you get, usually the wealthier you get. And in the cool mountain air it becomes not just a place but a lifestyle …
livin’ it large …
