I’ll be headed for the mountains today with my camera and my friends. I may have gotten excited about it and designed a tshirt for everyone. Oops.

Dear OutKast,
I grew up with you.
Well, not with you, of course. But, you’ve been there, poetry in your voices and soul in your melodies, to witness very important moments in my life. From 1994 to now, through births and through deaths, in triumphs and in failures, you have been there alongside me.
To say that I have been inspired by you would be an understatement.
You have shown that artistic vision does not need to be compromised, that paradigms can shift, and that talent, filtered through hard work, can lead to success. Most importantly, you have shown me that life should be spent cultivating passion.
In that spirit, when I learned that you were working on a new album, I decided then and there that I wanted to help you, in some capacity, to show my appreciation.
I’d like to design the next OutKast album, and all of the supporting promotional materials, as a token of my gratitude.
To demonstrate what I am capable of, I’ll use this space to post new art influenced by your work. Hopefully, these pieces will warrant the opportunity.
Thank you for everything.
Sincerely,
Atlanta, Georgia
Sanithna Phansavanhp.s. If you are not OutKast, but know them personally, I would be extremely grateful for your kindness if you were to pass this along. Thank you.
Right on to the real, and death to the fakers.

Illustrated 2 versions of this for the CL editorial this week. This was the road not taken, but I liked it, so I’m posting it.
