On February 19, 2011, W.A.I.L. will officially unveil “Bold As Scratch,” their artistic collaboration with Q-Bert, the world-famous deejay who made turntables a musical instrument and turntablism an artform.
Conceptualized and created behind closed doors in San Francisco by Q-Bert, hip-hop photographer Trevor Traynor and the WAIL team over the course of more than a year, the piece evolved from a multitude of ideas and sketches to a mixed-media canvas focused on QBert’s personal tribute to one of his musical heros.
In creation, photography, graphic art, found images and acrylic were utilized. Each piece in the collection of 250 are massive in size, and features custom augmentation by Q-Bert, making each a one-of-a-kind collectible.
Sign up early at www.qbertart.com for details on the piece, as well as a chance to receive a Golden Ticket, allowing you to view the piece on February 17, two days before the general public.
