Wayne and Nicki in Benzi World

I've been working on this image for two months, just tweeking it here and there, trying to get the lighting right. The idea is since Wayne and Nicki are like abstract artist in terms of content and appearance, I wanted to place them against a surreal abstract world, where the skies are green and the land mass is colorful blocks, with quirky little animals that populate it.

This is also part of a new hip hop series of images I'm putting together. Sometime next year I want to have a gallery show to display some of my work all centered around the hip hop culture, with prominent artist placed in surreal settings. Since I don't have access to shoot these celebrities myself, the final result and the timing of the show will be mainly based on the assumption that I will find enough interesting images to create enough pieces to fill a room. The other logistics will obviously have an affect...venue, time, cost etc. but I will remain hopeful...that I can make this project happen.
