Producing some quality work, he was then commissioned to complete the cover for Makaveli: The 7 Day Theory. I gave him my portfolio and a few weeks later, I was working on PacвЂ™s album cover art.вЂќ RiskieвЂ™s initial project for Death Row was the insert for PacвЂ™s All Eyez On Me album. It was the second part he did at the Compton Swapmeet. вЂњSuge introduced me to Tupac on the вЂCalifornia LoveвЂ™ video shoot. It wasnвЂ™t until notorious Death Row CEO, Suge Knight linked the artist and Tupac, that his career would soar. I found something else to concentrate on and started getting paid for airbrushing.вЂќ While Riskie was making money by airbrushing, he still had a desire for more exposure. Fortunately, we got a pass and it was at that moment when I realized thatвЂ™s not what IвЂ™m about. вЂњOne day we got pulled over by the copies and we were covered in paint - there was no one who could see what was about to happen like today. You know back then me and my boys would be outside tagging and bombing stuff,вЂќ he reveals. вЂњIn high-school, I started airbrushing t-shirts and realized I could be making some bread. Getting his artistic start in graffiti, Riskie has always been bound with immense talent but had trouble finding an outlet that would not only get him exposure but paid as well. Now 25 years later, Riskie celebrates the relationship that would jumpstart his career. The man behind the iconic album art, Riskie Forever, crafted the original artwork in 1996 and was shared with Pac days before his death.
