2026 ARTWORK
feat. roa studios.
Since 2015, our artwork has always been a fan favorite. Each year, Carlos Roa creates a hip-hop themed character that is utilized in our flyers, promotional videos, and festival merch.
For 2026, we had to team up with Roa once again and we are super thankful for him for taking the time to create one of the most-loved aspects of 2×2 Hip-Hop Festival.
