This project stems from a collaboration with an Italian stand-up comedy agency abroad. The goal was to create an illustration of a comedian, in this case, Lenny Bruce, for an educational book on stand-up comedy.

Not yet knowing the tone of the book, I decided to explore various interpretations of the design. I began by defining a digital drawing that maintained the appearance of a hand-drawn sketch, with some parts intentionally left in a sketch-like state that later evolved into detailed elements. Subsequently, I incorporated graphic elements that evoke a modern pop style, using the brand’s color palette.
