First and foremost I would like to say this shit took me a long time, and I'm glad I'm finished. Its a character named Byzantine, from a comic book that myself and two of my buddies are working on called The Suicide Kingz. Essentially Byzantine represents Malcom X in the story ergo the red hair and the self defense mentality. The idea for this piece came from Malcom X's famous line from one of his speeches. " By any mens necessary" The mist in the background actually represents an element in the story called the ether, which is a mist that envelopes an individual and reveals to them truth, and its up to the individual wheather or not they accept that truth. Keep on the look out for our book next year, and my boy Cipha (the main artist) should have some pieces to show pretty soon too.
