After the success of Format magazine’s LEGO toy project in which they innovatively recreated 20 classic Hip Hop album covers, replacing artists with Lego characters, the edgy urban arts magazine is back with fresh, cutting-edge artwork. Enlisting the help of Toronto-based design studio Moxy Creative, who masterminded the LEGO project, ten of the industry’s best emcees will be animated and transformed into Simpsonscharacters, based after the popular cartoon television show.
No Homer: Hip Hop Icons Simpsonized features Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Kanye West, Andre 3000 [click to read], Eminem, and more, available in 11.75 x 15.75 sized print as a group shot, or individual artist. Aside from the cartoonish artwork, Formatmagazine switches up the symbolic letter O on the posters, representative of each individual artist. Tupac’s individual print replaces the letter O with a box orange juice, representing his memorable role in the 1992 film Juice. Kanye West’s individual print respectively represents the letter O as a heart, and Andre 3000, as a rose.
Available now,Format magazine will be selling only 100 limited edition copies of the group shot, or you can purchase a print of the individual artist.
