I was cleaning out my place about a week ago and stumbled upon my old sketchbook from freshman year of college. I figured I’d post a few drawings/paintings from back then. More photos after the break.

I’m not going to lie… Skillz never ceases to impress me. Jeff and I used to hang out at the University of Richmond radio station (WDCE) with Skillz, DanjaMowf, and DJ Lonnie B (Power 92.1) back when we were in high school. Since then, Skillz has dropped an album on E1, toured with DJ Jazzy Jeff, created the year-end-wrap-up song, done ghostwriting for several artists, and released a number of Hip Hop Confessions episodes. Anyways, this new episode features legendary producers/DJs Q-Tip & Peanut Butter Wolf sharing some hip hop related stories and Skillz tells the story of passing on three classic J-Dilla beats. Shout out to Skillz. Random Fact: Jeff and I bought Skillz’ old Ensoniq EPS 16-Plus from Lonnie B back in the day, and I still have it in my condo. Lol.

In true James Bond fashion, this gold plated pencil is actually a gun with a concealed trigger and a 2 3/4-inch barrel that forms a .22 pistol. This “pencil pistol” belonged to Lord Mountbatten, who originally received this as a gift from an Indian Maharaja as the last Viceroy of India. This 7-inch-long pencil pistol made in 1948 to the Maharaja of Jodhpur’s own design is now placed on the auction block in London to fetch nearly £1000 on June 24.
