i.B.O.M.S. kicks off the New Year with the first installment of his Blue Print Series 1 “Shigarakis Therapy”.
Taking inspiration from Tomura Shigaraki, the main antagonist of “My Hero Academia”, Jabari asks the question, “Who envisions themselves as the villain in the grand scheme?”. A villain is only viewed as such by hero’s and the opposition.
With these prints Jabari seems to be reflecting on his work from the past, even hinting at characters from his own world with the “Ashi” reference in his written piece, a very introspective take from Jabari. The Blue Print minimalist style is a dope contrast from the majority of Jabari’s previous works, that are very colorful.
So far the 5/5 hand embellished prints are already sold out but you can still pick up some of the original prints. Due to the limited run and Series 1 status, I would highly recommend picking up one of these prints before they are all gone.
Not sure if it’s his written takes working as companion pieces to his work, or just how his pieces have been hitting me lately but, i.B.O.M.S. work is connecting with me on an even higher level than before.
