2Pac Leo – Icons in a Half Shell, 36x48 Original Painting by Quiggly
$5,500.00
Reliable shipping
Flexible returns
Leonardo painted with the swagger and iconography of 2Pac, mic raised mid-verse, mask tied bandana-style in 2Pac's signature knot.
Leonardo stands mid-gesture, mic raised in one hand, rings catching the light on the other, his mask tied bandana-style, low over his eyes, in 2Pac's signature knot. The vest reads "SHELL LIFE" in the same tattoo-style script 2Pac used for THUG LIFE, and a bold "PARENTAL ADVISORY" label runs across the top of the canvas, doing as much graphic work as the figure itself.
The painting works through pose and iconography rather than a single sight gag, confident and controlled, with the humor built into the details rather than the composition as a whole.
This is an original acrylic painting, one of only 5 in this lot. Each canvas is individually hand-painted, no two are identical.

About the Artist
Quiggly (Howard Chang) spent his early career designing hundreds of TMNT toys during the franchise's golden era, along with Star Trek figures and McDonald's Happy Meal toys. He went on to work across graphic design, tech, and marketing before returning to toys and art through Ancientz, his original collectible universe. Icons in a Half Shell brings him back to where it started, painted with the same instinct for character that built his early career.
About Icons in a Half Shell
These paintings are Howard "Quiggly" Chang's contemporary reinterpretations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, viewed through the pop culture that shaped their rise. Each work merges a Turtle with an influential figure from 90s music and film, creating pairings that are unexpected on purpose. They're not simple mashups. They're a celebration of the characters, the era, and the joy of recognizing both at once.
Only 5 originals exist of each painting, 25 pieces total across the full series. Every canvas is individually hand-painted and signed by Quiggly. No two are alike.
