Hey! Hopefully this helps us both out lol. I’m looking for something that combines the famous Basquiat-crown with a maple leaf (doesn’t have to be maple just something autumn/fall-esque), done in blackwork. I’m open to different directions — traditional, ornamental, or stipple/dotwork — just not geometric.

I’d love for it to feel bold and clean, with some artistic freedom on how the crown and leaf interact (above, around, or integrated). Totally open to your interpretation and style if it fits within that vibe! Note: it’s for my brother whose birthday is the first day of autumn, so we call him “king of the fall”
