S2Y2K is in full effect. This week marks the last official week of shooting for the merch and the magazine, after which- work on the magazine will be my sole focus as well as work on the accompanying documentary that followed some of the process.
Based off Team Rocket as made popular from the Pokemon series, These illustrations feature myself in exchange for James with Jesse bearing the new S2Y2K Pro Logo in the style of the Team Rocket “R”.

This illustration showcases some of my recent designs for S2Y2K and some of the OG S1 pieces. For a lot of the merch in S1, I ended up incorporating the logos in a lot of the illustrations i had created of myself in unrelated future pieces. This would be the first illustration that shows the new pieces in such a style.
Due to the nature of the image, it was fun placing numerous little easter eggs and inspirations within the scene. In the background, a Cactuar as seen in the Final Fantasy series of games can be seen. The Final Fantasy series being one of my favourite video game series- Initially i was going to use a KAWS figure of even a Heropuke but ended up going with the final option of a Cactuar. In the close foreground, on the table numerous other easter eggs can also be seen such the late Virgil Abloh’s Figures of Speech catalogue book, A Death note, The Life of Pi’erre 4 CD and “Routine” (From the same album) playing off a iPhone, A Gameboy Color (Seen with the Pukeboy loading screen), a RAPHYART x NIKE MORE ARTEMPO shoe poster and a calendar featuring a potential drop date (August 1st 2023).
The final image consisted of 700+ layers which surprised me for some reason.
Group images of all the logos created both used and unused. The bottom right logo- the “OG” has been slightly altered to match the new style of logos seen in this collection. All the logos feature the text Pantone 2039 XGC which is a reference to the shade of reddish pink used in these logos and throughout my work
