IFWT: Graphic Designer Justin Jenkins Sick Rapper Artwork!
Designer Justin Jenkins (25) was born and raised in both New Jersey and North Carolina. I came across his very detailed artist artwork of Dom Kennedy and Asap Rocky and I must say his artwork was the best I’ve seen thus far. As a graphic designer some people never know who’s behind the amazing illustrations that we see. I’m a very huge fan of music and art when you add the two together I instantly fall in love. If you are interested in having some work done email @Justinjnkns456@gmail.com. If you haven’t checked out some of the dope artwork by Justin you may from his official instagram.
