I wanted to make a note about the Cover to Jam in the Band 1 from yesterday. It’s a take off of this cover:
I freely admit I am obsessed with Jet Set Radio. I own both the American AND Japanese version of the first game. HEY! There a subtle differences between the two.
Anyways, like so many of the things that will be discussed here. This game was a huge influence on me. Look for lots of graffiti in the backgrounds of panels. And when we fully introduce Jennet, I am trying to imply that she is the one responsible for a lot of the graffiti.
In the meantime lets take a look at some awesome JSR art and video:
Everybody loves Gum.
The Love Shockers gang. One of the MANY inspirations for the Becky Vice character. More on that later.
If you look, this stage of the game is a take off of Harlem 125th st. I kind of love that.
