Hurricane Bianca:
From Russia with Hate

Theatrical key art, art direction, graphic design, DVD packaging design

Context

Bianca Del Rio, an American drag queen and winner of the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, returns for a sequel to 2016’s Hurricane Bianca , a classic American comedy. This time, Bianca finds herself in trouble in Russia.

Overview

I worked with the team at Wolfe Video, an exclusive distributor of LGBTQ+ filmed entertainment, to conceptualize and design the theatrical key art (i.e., the visual identity) for the epic and outrageous sequel to Hurricane Bianca. We took cues from espionage film posters (e.g., James Bond, Austin Powers), and exponentially served up the camp and glamour with a dark Russian twist.

Although we initially wanted to show off the entire ensemble cast, in the end, Rachel Dratch, Katya and Shangela were only featured. Luckily, we were able to showcase the rest of the cast in the DVD packaging.
