This was a dream project to work on. At the intersection of manga and hip hop is a refreshingly new pilot episode for Spotify’s Rap Caviar channel. We brainstormed as a team about how to bring illustrator Freddy Carrasco’s arresting illustrations to life while adhering to a tight deadline. We focused on parallaxing, the use of negative space and interesting collages to illustrate Trippie Redd’s vulnerable recounting of his past.
