Traxx, a Pittsburgh-based music artist came to me requesting the start of his solo identity when he took a turn from his former role as a part of rap group Bilderburgh. He wanted a bear as a continuous animal to represent himself - one that could change styles over time, but still be recognized as his identity. He described to be the emotions/demeanor he wanted to portray, as well as requesting a sketched/cartoon style version and a tribal version to start with.
We incorporated both styles into the design of his first solo album, "Outsider". Bear designs and album art below.
