AtL’s Phantom Kay, a self-described “graphic designer slash digital artist,” is releasing his new collection dedicated the G.O.A.T. of boxing, Muhammad Ali.
“I Am The Greatest” series will feature five print styles and will be available online for sale October 7.
Prints are 11″ x 17″ for $25, 18″ x 24″ for $40, and 24″ x 36″ for $85.
GN$F!: What inspired you to do this Ali collection?
PHANTOM KAY: I wanted to go somewhere different with this collection. I have never created any artwork based off of any sports figure, and thought there was no better figure to start with than the ‘pound for pound’ greatest boxer of all times. I wanted explore his different faces and phases. I really had a lot of fun creating this collection, and I love the way it came together.
GN$F!: What made you decide the color palette?
PHANTOM KAY: I wanted to capture the vintage quality to his iconic status in pop culture.
Phantom Kay graduated from Valdosta State University with a B.A. in mass media; A.A. in creative writing and graphic design; with a certificate in journalism. Phantomkay’s work is incredible, the nobility in which he depicts hip-hop artists is refreshing to view. It’s almost hard to tell he’s from the Dirty South because many of his digital paintings pay tribute to west coast notables: Linkin Park, Ice Cube, Kendrick Lamar, Kobe Bryant, and Ab-Soul. If Jackson Pollock did ink bomb droppings on Da Vinci’s portraits of hip-hop artists while watching 1970s flicks you would get a Phantomkay painting.
