The Last Official Prince T-Shirts 3rdeyetunes
Above: Official Prince Merch 'Free Urself' from late 2015. I created the original art illustration on a hot summer's night in 2014. This work of art was directly from my imagination, illustrated in one evening with no instructions. The keyboards in the sky are Moogs, which Prince used early on in his career. The eyes circling above the ladder are loosely based on the moon phases. The rest of the illustration not seen in this photo is based on symbolism. ( full illustration later published in full for Musicology2017 event at PP). 2 x Free Urself t-shirts were the last artworks on Prince's 3rdeyetunes Official website which ended in late March 2016. There is a black and white photo of Prince standing in front of this illustration made in2 a door, near the kitchen at Paisley Park, when he played a gala performance around 21st January 2016 ( seen on Princestagram ). Also, this artwork is worn by Prince on his last studio single Free Urself on iTunes late September 2015. A version of this was also worn by Prince in his HitnRun US SHOWS in Spring / Summer 2015 and Projected in shows.

PAISLEY PARK AFTER DARK
NOVEMBER 2015
Official Paisley Park Poster November 2015. New Funk - Featuring Art Painting of Mono Neon, a New Band Member. I used acrylic paint, pen on paper & the background was made in digital. I created this one very fast in late October '15 and I liked the finished result.
I recently dug out the original file and remastered it. This drawing was on @Prince twitter & Instagram now moved to @prnlegacy Princestagram and twitter. The quality of that version is not so good. (see below 18th November 2015 Instagram post).
I was asked to create artworks for an Unnamed Prince band in late October 2015. One of the 1st was of Mono Neon & that painting I created was published on a Paisley Park After Dark Poster. The last artwork I made was in late January 2016, an artwork of Adrian Crutchfield, which has never been published. The KAJ drawing that I drew was later added to the commissioned Fonky Bald Heads social media banner in Summer 2016.
Prince wore an illustration, illustrated by me on his tunic with a single eye on the front. Originally I made the artwork as a portrait. The team increased it in size to show the eye on front and a finger 'Shhh' on the back. It is different from the Free Urself Art illustration which was also created by me. Seen at Warner Theatre in Washington DC (2nd show) at the last 3rdeyegirl Concert on June 14th 2015. Seen here (link below) on the 1st photo worn by Prince. http://www.muziq.fr/prince-et-stevie-wonder-font-danser-washington/
