Rick and Morty, Season 5 Box Set
This commission from Adult Swim involved creating the key artwork for the Rick and Morty Season 5 Steelbook DVD case. The creative challenge was to interpret the chaotic, interdimensional universe of the show through my own distinctive illustrative style.
The illustration captures the essence of Rick and Morty's adventures, balancing the franchise's signature humor and sci-fi absurdity with a cohesive graphic approach. The final artwork serves as a collectible centerpiece, offering a fresh yet recognizable visual entry point into the beloved series.
