Lil Wayne- President Carter Unofficial Cover

prescarter copy

Lil Wayne has an awesome song on his album Tha Carter IV called President Carter. The album drops on Monday so be sure to buy it in stores or on iTunes!

This is one of the great verse’s from the song-

Gorillas in suits,
The holy war, the spiritual troops,
Fighting over the mythical truth,
Drowning in the political soup,
They shoot, missiles and nukes,
Taking out such a pivotal group,
The body count is the physical proof,
And they thought drugs were killing the youth…

That’s crazy awesome stuff right there from the best rapper alive. I felt it was only necessary to make an awesome cover for the song. I remade the Presidential Seal and I think it looks fantastic. This is one of my favorite pieces I think I have ever done. Wayne is being serious about some stuff in the song…so a cover with really bright colors wouldnt be too appropriate. I kept the colors a bit washed out and still made it look ‘official’.

Steve Smith Sig

Steve Smith, WR for the Carolina Panthers, is featured in this sig! He’s looking to have a big season if rookie Cam Newton turns out to be the the QB we hope he is.

About the sig specifically, It turned out well. I like the text alot because of the circle it sits in. I feel like it brought everything together.

The Weeknd Sig

R+B singer The Weeknd released his new mixtape yesterday so I decided to make a sig inspired by him and the tape. I think this sig turned out pretty well…I really like the color band effect over his shoulder. View the mixtape’s cover to see why I put the color into the sig.

I also tried to make him look like he was in some sort of weird fog, which he quite possibly could be in real life anyway if you know what I mean.

Marshawn Lynch Sig

This is one of my favorite sigs I have ever done. The color’s worked great together and the text is different from what I normally do and it turned out well.

The player, Marshawn Lynch, is the animal of a running back that plays in Seattle for the Seahawks. Im no Seahawks fan, but I do love the way Lynch runs.

Lil Wayne “Greatest of All Time” Sig

Yup, another Lil Wayne sig. It’s getting close to the release of the highly anticipated album “Tha Carter IV” so you should probably expect another Wayne piece or two here on DieboltDesigns in the coming weeks. This sig in particular came out well. It took me about an hour to complete. I feel like it’s one of my better sigs.

Be on the lookout today for more pieces exclusive to DieboltDesigns!

Lil Wayne “She Will” Unofficial Covers

 

Lil Wayne’s new single from Tha Carter IV drops today and it will be titled “She Will”. Wayne’s prodigy Drake is featured in the song.

I decided to make 2 unofficial covers for this single. The one pictured on the left is the more realistic cover. I wouldn’t be surprised if the official cover looks somewhat like that. The cover on the right is my more creative cover. I wish Wayne’s creative team would use a style more similar to that because it is simply different.

Yelawolf Unofficial “Radioactive” Album Cover

Rapper Yelawolf is scheduled to release his debut album “Radioactive” soon so I figured I would take a shot at a cover design. I think it fit’s the title well and it is at least creative as far as text placement and lighting. I will be interested to see how the official cover looks.

Paul Rodriguez Sig

I haven’t posted anything skateboarding related before…I figured it was about time. I love the way this piece turned out. It’s a mix of the smooth feeling I put on alot of my work and a grunge/skater style. The coloring also worked quite well in the text.

Let me know what you think of this P-Rod sig!


Lil Wayne Sig

Wayne Tattoo Sig

I haven’t done a sig in a while and I figured it was long overdue. Some new behind the scenes pictures from Wayne’s MTV VMA commercial shoot were released and I really liked this picture…worked great for this sig. What do you think?

 


Lil Wayne Poster Design

Weezy Poster

Just finished this poster of Lil Wayne! I think it turned out really well and it looks like it was almost hand drawn!

Details on how to buy this poster and buy a shirt with this image on it are coming soon!

Help Me “Donate” my Take Care cover to Drake!

A while back I posted my idea for the cover of Drake’s Take Care album. Now, Im asking for everyone’s help in making Drake actually notice my cover and use it officially. I just want to donate the cover to him. Personally, I’m a really big fan of his and it would be a dream come true to have my artwork used as the official cover art. This is where all of you come in to play. If I just tweet the cover to Drake, there is no way he see’s it. But if I can get everyone to tweet and email the cover to him he might possibly see it and he could contact me.

Drake’s twitter: @drakkardnoir

My twitter: @jessediebolt

The cover itself:

All I need is a few seconds of your day where you can tweet, retweet, email, etc. this cover to Drake or his people. I have no clue what email to send it to or who I could get in contact with but Im sure somebody out there does. If you do know an email address, please leave a comment letting me know.

My email: dieboltdesigns@yahoo.com

Again, please help me out. I can only make this happen with alot of support. The goal is only to get Drake to see this cover and use the cover possibly.

Thank You!
