Run The Jewels has partnered with Sketchfab, an online platform to share and sell 3D artwork, for a remix challenge of the duo iconic pistol and fist logo. The logo has always been reinterpreted by fans – but now the group seeks to reward those fans immediately.
Fans can download the 3D model used in the production of their latest album cover, RTJ4, and put it into their own creations. To enter, artists must upload their project to Sketchfab with the tag # RTJ4D. The prices are not too bad either: XP-Pen tablets, an annual subscription to Substance by Adobe, and, of course, RTJ 4 merch.
While this 3D model was used in the production of the Run The Jewels 4 album art, the final image on the cover was of a physical item based on those mock-ups. You can learn more about that process in my interview with El-P and photographer Tim Saccenti about the visual narrative of Run The Jewels.
Below are a few entries I enjoy. And even though it’s a Sketchfab-only prize question, I have to record this incredible Instagram post from the legendary Beeple.
