I'm diggin it - the photos are nice... if you got cleaan photos that are well composed, there's no need to crowd them with unnessesary graphics... nice work - I particulary like the spread w/ him up against the fence & the big face on the right hand side... keep it comin - peace...

yeah the artist himself

First of all just wanted to thank my man DK for the tite ass hook-up. I'm Charles Jay, the artist he did the layout and art for. I wnated to address a couple things. The reason we decided to go with black and white was because it was simple and clean and somethign different than what you see, kinda like me as an artist.. i don't rap like naybody from the Bay but I'm from SF. Dream Returned is my debut album and I hope all of you hit me up to get your copy ( [email protected]) if oyu want to hear somethin other thna killin niggas and fuckin bitches..there's soem real issues that i talk about..another thing, the reason i did the pic with me and pac was because i love that pic.. i took it when i was about 10 years old b4 he was all that and shit..its old and i wnated ppl to see it..i'm not tryign to compare us or nuthin but if u cop the album you'll see we are both revolutionaries, poets and men of color who want change
