PROJECT DETAILS
- Client: John Smalls
- Medium: Funko Pop/Product Packaging
- Tasks/Skills: Customizing two personalized pops of John Smalls and his co-host, Stephen Gomez; hosts of the podcast Chico & the Grin
John Smalls, 1/2 of the hosts of Chico & The Grin reached out to me for custom pops for him and his co-host, Stephen Gomez (Chico). When completed, they had me on the show to present it as a surprise to Chico. You can listen to the full episode HERE
Being how they are both artists, I wanted to capture that into their pops. So with John, I went with a painter and Stephen, a photographer. With John’s pop I went an extra step and had all the colors on his palette sepia toned since he usually paints in sepia tones and is also colorblind.
The box design used a collage, comprising of various posters they’ve created of each episode of their show.
