dready art ‘the lover and the fighter – 14×14 – image

I was drawing the character on the left and afterward I realised that he reminded me of a few people well that I knew growing up, but especially, because of the way he is standing, he reminded me of a doood named ‘big basil’ …

big basil was part of our weekend social scene when we were in college, ’cause big basil went to a different school, but we all went to the same parties and clubs on a weekend …

Two things about BB were that he was very very tall, so when you walked into the club you’d see him  from across the room, in the midst of the dance floor, sticking out the top of everyone else, dancing away with an invariably pretty gyal, and also invariably, BB also would have his shirt off …

round them times too, me and ‘small basil’, who was only small compared to the big one, were often moving ’bout together, along with a tight west indian crew the core of which was a group of jamaicans …

so anyhow the drawing reminded me of both the basil’s … and of me and small basil and we were definitely the lover and the fighter …

and so i added the character on the right … enter the dragon …

big love …
