Briefing

The idea was to create a fun and visually striking series that celebrates hip hop culture in an accessible and humorous way.
Designed for both music lovers and younger audiences, the prints reinterpret the four classic elements of hip hop through expressive animal characters and playful visual storytelling. 

Execution

The prints are produced as fine art giclée prints on 190 g/m² Hahnemühle William Turner paper.
Each print measures 30 × 30 cm and is available individually or as a full set. 

Visual Approach

Influenced by old-school hip hop aesthetics, street culture and pop iconography, the illustrations combine humor, bold character design and vibrant compositions.
The aim was to create collectible art prints that celebrate the visual language and spirit of hip hop culture.
