This drawing is part of the illustration series created for the article As the Sun Sets, We Rise, published in Colors Magazine in 1993. ILL STYLE showcases Mkali’s emerging visual language, blending stylized letterforms and symbolic imagery to reflect the intersection of personal identity, hip hop aesthetics, and social commentary. As with the other works in the series, this piece demonstrates how Mkali used drawing not only as a visual tool, but as a means of cultural critique and self-definition.
