HIEROGLYPHICS X CAPE & COWL
OBJECTIVE
Watchmen was in the air and I created this graphic outta my love for both the property and the Oakland creative group, Hieroglyphics. I showed it to Eitan at Cape & Cowl and he loved it. Tajai from Hiero happened to shop at C&C, Eitan showed it to him, and he loved it. Then it turned into a big event for the release of Doomsday Clock from DC.
WORK DONE
Client: Cape & Cowl Comics | Hieroglyphics
Role: Creative Direction, Illustration, and Production
PROCESS
The pin was the no brainer part. That was done and in the bag.
The part that actually required the most work was the pin backing card, which eventually turned into a poster for the event. I recreated the famous Watchmen #1 cover for both pieces and the attending members of Hiero signed it for fans that made it out to the Cape & Cowl event.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I'm stoked with how it all turned out. I was just doing something for fun for two things I really dig and Hiero reciprocated the love. I also get to say that I collaborated with the legendary Hiero y'all! This is still one of my favorite pins ever. That Hiero logo is just so damn dope.
