My guest this week is New York-via-Virginia graphic designer, creative director at Coral Studios, and founder of Madeintheurl and African American Artist, Chris Chance. We spoke about Backrooms, the legacy of Space Jam, A Bronx Tale, Inception, Paprika, fusing the worlds of hip-hop and fashion, the pros and cons of the streaming age, building a brand, and the creative process behind his work at Coral Studios, Madeintheurl, and African American Artist. Come fuck with us.
