Amar Stewart<\/strong> is a conceptual artist who carved out a niche sketching legendary rap artists guised as 17th century aristocrats. Harboring a knack for drawing as a kid growing up in London, Stewart<\/strong> first knew he wanted to paint professionally while running operations at Upper Playground. The San Francisco-based clothing brand often commissioned graphics from such
\ngraffiti artists like Saber, David Choe & N8<\/strong>, which over time motivated Stewart<\/strong> to take up the practice himself. Being surrounded by such awe-inspiring work moved the artist to study the masters that came before him en route to uncovering his own expressive ethos.<\/p>\n
