Visual Spotlight: Mark 563

Mark 563 is an Aussie family man who has a knack for making sketches of the illest artists of the golden era. I found this guy through Philaflava, and I've been subsequently looking through his site (Run The Line), for more dope artwork since. Anyways, here is a thorough selection of his numerous illustrations:

Visual Spotlight: PDubl

My dude DJ Crate Scienz got me privy to this graphic designer named PDubl via the album art for his mixtape called The Listening Session. You can check it here. Crate Scienz directed me towards PDubl's MySpace page which hosted all or most or at least some of dude's previous work.
At first glance, I was blown away. Not so much by the eccentricity and the use of eclectic colors, but moreso by the intricacies that exist in every picture.
He seamlessly blends pop-art with ill graphics and numerous off-kilter figures. Most importantly, he creates visuals that take time to fully absorb and comprehend, allowing you to reach your own conclusions while achieving a subtle social message throughout.
