Jam Tapestries
Description: Ruff Ryders Entertainment is an American hip hop record label and management company founded by siblings and record executives Joaquin "Waah", Darrin "Dee" and Chivon Dean in 1988. It operated as a subsidiary of Universal, and distributed by Interscope Records, with Def Jam Recordings serving as the distributor for DMX albums. The label went on to launch the careers of several successful artists such as their flagship artist DMX, Eve, The LOX, Drag-On, MC Jin, producers Dame Grease and the Deans' nephew, Swizz Beatz among others. The Ruff Ryders namesake also referred to a loose-knit hip hop collective composed of the core signees of the label.
Description: This is a little group of Amanita Mascaria (Fly Agaric) mushrooms, but instead of white spots on red, these mushroom caps have blue donuts on a red background— the reverse of a pattern made known by Jon Fishman of the band Phish. Some shadowy donuts float in the background, and the mushrooms grow in a patch of grass. This composition is in a vintage style, with an oval frame around it.
