About this poster
Jermaine was delighted to create a print for RUN THE JEWELS, one of the most forward-thinking bands on the scene today. The imagery incorporates the trademark hand-symbols that serve as the band’s logo: the hand-gestures depict the sign of a gun with one hand, while the other hand symbolically holds ‘the jewels’. The ‘stick-up’ street phrase, ‘Run the jewels!’ (which was also an old LL Cool J lyric), is tantamount to saying, ‘Give me your valuables NOW!’.
Jermaine took this opportunity to showcase the squirrels, newly seen beings in his woodland universe.
He comments:
‘In the dense wood, the squirrels are eternal hustlers. Always searching, always looking, always on the run. They have no allegiances, no long-term alliances or treaties with any other animals of the forest. They are beholden to no one but themselves, their own families and communities. From high above the floor of the forest, they watch and plan and plot…above the heads of all the other animals. From treetops, they decide…you dig it? And then they TAKE.
I thought they fit this print and the aesthetic of RTJ perfectly. I love this band and have been friendly with certain individuals in their ‘family’ for several years. It rules to finally do something ‘official’ with them. Hands down (in my opinion) one of the most important, most kick-ass bands on the scene…and really nice guys.’ – jr
