Our book cover illustration for WOMEN RAPPING REVOLUTION: HIP HOP AND COMMUNITY BUILDING IN DETROIT is now out in print! This is the image we passed along to the University of California press during the summer, and it’s great to see it out in the real world. Authors Kellie Hay and Rebekah Farrugia have researched the important role of women in Detroit’s hip hop underground for over seven years, and we are honored to be a part of their project. Our goal was to be feminine, but not cutesy, and to reflect a collective attitude and style of real women in the scene. Small moments like water droplets reference the Detroit women rappers’ community activism, especially around issues related to water. Go buy a copy today and look at this beauty on your shelf (and read it too)!

We are proud to be @cranbrook_art alumni and we’re honored to be designing the graphics for the 2020 Cranbrook Alumni Reunion. Our idea was to collage works by CAA alum (which can be weird, wacky, modern) against the historic backdrop of campus to create a series of postcards from a place they once called “home”. Every month leading up to the reunion we’ll be creating a new seasonal postcard. One of the project challenges was to make visuals that represent the community over five + decades, making sure alumni in their 70s can read the typography but still resonate with more recent grads. Alumni, if you’d like your work included in one of the collages, please upload high res images to CAA’s website under the “reunion” tab. Can’t wait to see you all in June!
