Volume I
SZN I
Back in the middle of 2021, Billy had brought up the idea to me that he and another ambitious creative called Mike, wanted to create a youth magazine. At the time, we had no clue how big it would get or how worldwide it would become.I had the absolute pleasure of helping Billy design the back cover of the VERY FIRST volume of 4GOT10. A memory and an experience I will treasure always.

Around early November 2022, I was asked by Billy to come back and draw the front cover of this volume's magazine. And of course, I accepted. They had a solid idea and sketch already made, they just needed someone to execute it and finalise their vision .
After multiple check-ins and reviews, I turned in the final version in early January 2023, and it was revealed to the world in early February.
VOLUME V
SZN II
In late August 2023, I began the very, very early sketch for the 4GOT10 X Yung Bans collaboration. It was to celebrate the upcoming release of Bans' Volume 6 EP. Every review was sent to Yung Bans, and it relaxed me every time it came back that he loved it; it was always centred around growth in character and elevation. Once we had established the final idea, it was my responsibility to pull it together, tell a story and add my crazy artistic flair on top.

The 4Got10 Magazine team were able to attend the festival and personally hand Cole Bennett a copy of this volume.
A photo was taken of him flicking through the magazine I had the great opportunity of illustrating the cover for.
