So recently Lupe Fiasco released a single off his upcoming album with some very interesting album art. I was pretty shocked when I first saw it because it looked very familiar to me. The art is from the song “Around My Way” which is sort of a remake of “T.R.O.Y.” and is currently controversial because Pete Rock says he didn’t give permission to use it and all that. That isn’t my point though.

I’ve been doing graphic design for over 10 years now, which is impressive because I just turned 22. I’ve never been proud of my work and thought it was anything amazing, but when friends asked, I would give them prints of my work. Well i’m guessing it got in the hands of someone else, but i’ll let you guys decide if i’m crazy or not.

here’s a poster I made on April 19th,2010. (I have the original .ai file still and thats the last modification date.)

here’s a picture of Lupe Fiasco’s artwork that was released on May 22nd, 2012.

it’s kinda crazy how similar it is if you ask me. and i do understand two people can come up with the same idea.

but what do you guys think?

Was this stolen from me?
