A series where I choose a musical artist whose body of work and artistic journey I am interested in, and I create multiple characters in my own style based off the themes and visuals in their albums.
Next, I mash them up with an existing cartoon character that matches their overall artistic persona. it’s incredibly satisfying to find the perfect match between a rapper and their cartoon counterpart.
Mashups like the ones in this zine call back to the act of sampling that makes up the backbone of hip-hop production, and the outsized personalities of both genres harmonize with each other.
