Art direction and design for The Collective, a hiphop crew comprised of Zae da Blacksmith, Stephen the Levite, and Timothy Brindle. These three guys are hiphop purists, so we wanted the art to resemble a twist on graffiti, which is one of the 4 pillars of traditional hiphop. Rather than spraypaint, we decided to use watercolors to create a painterly, drippy effect.
The name badge on the cover is a nod to comic books.
