Dan Lish is a British artist who has worked within the creative industry for over 20 years with a client list including Image comics, Lucas Arts, Sony and Rockstar Games as well as De La Soul, The Wu Tang Clan and Cypress Hill to name a few.

Egostrip is a project that began on Dans daily commute to work, where he filled his sketchbooks with illustrations of iconic Hiphop Artists and Pioneers that have influenced him over the past 30 years. Book 1 (this will be the first in a series) is a collection of 138 full color illustrations, black and white Drawings and photos with Dan's anecdotes, process thoughts and tips and histories of the interconnected characters; their alter-egos and worlds created in glorious analogue and digital techniques.

Many thanks to Dan for parting with the debut cover. His work is truly inspiring.
L-to-R: KRS-One, Grandmaster Flash, Dilla, Biggie, DJ Kool Herc, Rakim, Chuck D, MF DOOM (plus Dan himself at the desk). For any music-heads out there you can grab a copy of the hardcover while they last HERE.
