Celebrated illustrator, comic artist and all-around visual maverick Rafael Grampá was in Berlin last week to personally present his new animation - which was realized in collaboration with Absolut Vodka as a part of their “NEXTFRAME“ project - in front of an enthused audience.

“Dark Noir“ - obviously a nod to the aesthetics and narration of film noir - combines 2D and 3D elements, for which the Brazilian artist teamed up with London based studio Red Knuckles (the guys behind the Gorillaz videos).

Check the impressive result below.
