Esteme on creating the sketch:

Yo kid...This is the kinda style I've been rocking the most... Mad compact with the soft edge bits
and lumpy letter pieces everwhere. Everything kinda slides together...Totem is the only person
on here that I've painted with a lot and has had a big, direct influence on my shit... So I tried to
focus on the stuff I know he doesn't do as much... I like the hands up/hands down
shit that the T's are doing...
 
Peace




Rime on the sketch:

The sketch is 'FRESH' and I don't like to use that word on just anything.. To me the word FRESH
is used to describe a certain aesthetic... If your not sure what that might be then take a look above.

Totem Said:

Yo Esteme

I fuckin love the sketch!

This was a fun wall man.. told you the whole time while we painted.
the flow of the letters starting with the 'T' is mad raw.. I wanted to
get a bit looser with some bevels and shit.. but hell i was having a ton
of fun keeping it clean.

I think my favorite letter in the peice is the 'O'.
It's mad unorthodox and kinda twisted. the other letters are hot as well.
the T's that are holding hands are dope! And the middle 'T' looks like
it's mashing the head of the 'E'.
The flame at the end of the '2' is the cream.

You and I have been painting together for a long time.. I'm surprised
we didnt swap outlines sooner.
