The artworks combine hip-hop punchlines and character design

THE 500+ HANDMADE TYPES are inspired by everything from graffiti to sign painting to psychedelic art.
I Just Murdered The Alphabet pays tribute to hip-hop culture, with 102 meaningful rap punchlines drawn in a slick style.
The series also introduces an imaginary tribe I called La Société Des Griffeurs.

For the font design, I was inspired by everything from graffiti to psychedelic culture to much more

The 102 drawings for a total of 22 artworks took me 6 months to complete

LA SOCIETE DES GRIFFEURS is a group of teenagers born and raised in a project.
After traveling to Borneo in Indonesia, they build a secret community based on freedom and animalistic instincts.
They find philosophical values in hip-hop culture. (To be continued…)

The drawings were done with silver pens on art paper

I also posted separate pictures of the original drawings on this blog.
