Paranoid x Astro Circo

•

This is an incredibly exciting art collaboration project. Astro Circo Studio has partnered with Toronto's coolest local streetwear brand and screen printing studio, Paranoid, to bring this dynamic collaboration to life. Featuring illustration, screen printing, live graffiti party, and a vibrant array of corresponding products and videos, this project is a true celebration of creativity. The main visual of this project is an illustration created by graffiti artist Edwin, seamlessly merging the iconic bunny character with the essence of Paranoid. The artist has designed a narrative expression: a wizard bunny, pouring magic into a crucible, chanting the spell 'paranoid' with mesmerizing intensity.

The T-shirts for this art collaboration project are all hand-dyed and printed by Paranoid. The illustration creation took into account the limitations of printing colors and utilized halftone elements to achieve richer gradients in the artwork. The final design is screen printed in 6 colors on the front of ivory-colored soft-style T-shirts. The print size is 16 x 21 inches.

Paranoid threw a party for the occasion and unveiled the art collaborative T-shirt. During this live event, graffiti artist Edwin sprayed event's theme illustrations on billboards outside Paranoid's streetwear store. The fusion of graffiti murals and the brand was not only a novel experiment but also a tribute to street culture, making Paranoid's event even more eye-catching and a standout feature of the streets.

This is the original sketch, conceived and drawn even before the illustration. The graffiti artist constructed this scene on this canvas in Procreate and captured it as a time-lapse video. Witness here the initial birth process of this wizard bunny.
