THE BOONDOCKS FAN ART - RILEY, HUEY AND JAZMINE, DSNG STYLE!

Most of my fans on Facebook and Instagram have seen these hip-hop graffiti styled posters already. But I wanted to put them all in one place. The Boondocks started out as a comic strip by Aaron McGruder, back in 1996 and ended in 2006. Later the author began hiring other artists to draw the strips, while he did the writing.
Eventually in November 2005, it became a hit adult animated series on Cartoon Network's late-night block called Adult Swim, and I think it ran for 4 seasons [although Aaron left the show after the 3rd season ended]. The show ended in June 2014 and it had 55 episodes.

If you saw the original comic strips, the art of the Boondocks did evolve over the years, before the cartoon was launched. And now I've created three of the main characters as high school seniors [roughly 18 years old], in my style.
Their names are: Riley [future thug, with the high-top fade and DSNG finger name rings], Huey [future activist / governor, with the giant DJGemini chain] and Jazmine [the future thick wife of Riley - probably, man... just sayin'].
There's another main character called Grandad [voiced by the legendary guy John Witherspoon], whom I didn't draw... couldn't find a way to make him look cool like the others, but it's all good :)
Anyway, enjoy the art and don't forget to like and share!
