Art Work Murals & Prints Ol’ Dirty Art Print By Sideshow Collectibles By Artist Mike Thompson

“Shame on you, when you step through to The Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Brooklyn Zoo!”

Sideshow presents the Ol’ Dirty Fine Art Print by artist Mike Thompson, in honor of the legacy of one of Brooklyn’s own – the American rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

A legend of the music scene, ODB left his mark on hip hop culture both as one of the founding members of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan and as a breakout solo artist. His debut solo album “Return to the 36 Chambers” delivered rhymes in a unique style of his own, backed by massive, extraordinary beats.

Artist Mike Thompson pays tribute to this eccentric icon representing his home borough of Brooklyn, New York. Behind him, the word “Dirty” shines bright in lights over New York City and the famous Brooklyn Bridge – an image as massive as ODB’s personality- emphasizing Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s star status both on and off the stage. Profane, carefree, and a folk hero to countless fans, ODB’s larger than life persona lives on through his music, immortalized in platinum.

Each Ol’ Dirty Fine Art Print features an authorized, automated artist signature and an embossed Seal of Authenticity as a part of this limited edition, produced exclusively through Sideshow. This vibrant portrait is officially licensed by the ODB Estate and is a must-have for hip hop music fans everywhere.
