FOUR OF EVERYTHING

The kind folks at Better Half invited me onto the third season of Sidestripe Sessions for Vans. Four artists, four musicians, four completely different illustration styles, one series that had to feel like Vans made it on purpose.

MUSIC VIDEO BUCKET LIST

Scribbly type and masks in one session. Lush painted frames, funky flat shapes, and trippy bubbles too. Plus getting to work for Vans. Iconic. This project checked ALL the boxes.
