They Don't Play Fair

Papio and Special are back! Their love for each other has withstood the drama and turmoil of their chaotic lives, but their thirst for the dollar has once again set them on a crash course for mayhem. They’ve accumulated a long list of enemies, and now, it’s time to do battle. Calling on some strong allies to assist them, they insist that no one will be spared, and no one will get in their way. Papio and Special are going all-out to get what they want and what they feel they deserve. Whatever it takes, their goals will be reached. There’s no rules in the game they are playing. They don’t care about rules anyway, because They Don’t Play Fair!

Clifford “Spud” Johnson was raised in Inglewood, California. He had numerous encounters with drugs, mayhem, and ultimately, the California Youth Authority. These experiences gave Clifford a template for street life. The hustle of welfare-dependent families sculpted by the day to day hood life that he experienced provides the imagery he displays in his work.
