The song Final Hour took on a whole new meaning for TDF artist Maxime Manga in recent weeks when he delivered a design in record time for none other than Ms. Lauryn Hill.

“The challenge was releasing so many animations in such a short time,” he says. “When you have Lauryn Hill on the phone, you put a certain pressure on yourself, in addition to the work itself – and this cocktail is just too beautiful.”
