Justin Bohannon is a burgeoning artist, a guy who likes to make elaborate drawings of the things in life that inspire him.

It's fitting, therefore, that the 18-year-old nighttime sales clerk from New Port Richey, Florida, received a phone call recently that led to his latest work of art.

Bohanon found out that he was one of the winners of six exclusive autographed T-shirts from The Game that were the prizes in a sweepstakes at the hip-hop star's official Web site, TheGame360.com.

Bohannon said he has already taken the shirt and displayed it on a wall in his room as part of a mural honoring The Game.

"Since he came out with The Documentary, I've loved every song he's done," Bohannon said. "And he keeps getting better. Doctor's Advocate is his best album yet, because it's more of him and less of the 50 Cent-Dr. Dre bullshit."

Bohannon, whose favorite item of clothing -- until he won the autographed T-shirt, of course -- was a "G U-Not" tee, said The Game's lyrics are a constant source of inspiration for his artwork and his life.

"His way of life and talking on the albums is similar to what I've been through," Bohannon said. "It's keeps me going when I'm down. It keeps me fighting strong."

And winning the T-shirt?

"It keeps me more motivated and keeps me appreciated as a fan," he said. "It's awesome. I had the biggest grin on my face for two days after I got that phone call."
