Behind The Cover: TRIPPIE REDD - Trip At Knight

Walking through the tantalizing worlds of Stephen Gibb in preparation for new Trippie.

Words by Luis ( @luis.hoa ):

With blood red hair and a VVS shark teeth grill, TRIPPIE REDD and his accompanying persona stray from the bunch with bravado. Since his 2017 debut, A Love Letter To You , his image has evolved tenfold, capitalizing on his high octane energy with equally vibrant visuals for his album covers and animated music videos that showcase the rapper's lively nature. Speaking on cover art alone, his initial collaboration with Canadian artist Stephen Gibb for Life's A Trip (2018) marked a significant shift in the TRIPPIE REDD catalog, a shift that showcased his daring nature for going beyond what one would consider the norm for rap artwork. Beyond the fact that the record itself is a maelstrom of sound, Life's A Trip presented a perplexing work of limitless interpretation that as expected, stands among fans as a favorite.

Fast forward a few years later and we arrive to the upcoming Trip At Knight , to be released by TenThousand Projects . Few and far between are audiovisual partnerships like that of TRIPPIE REDD and Stephen Gibb , as Trip At Knight would attest. Gibb 's surrealist paintings are a masterclass both spirited and accessible. Beneath the vibrance of his color palette, Gibb layers a variety of statements that spark the mind's imagination. Trip At Knight , and the accompanying single artwork for Holy Smokes , do just that. There's plenty going on, and rightfully so, as it elaborates seamlessly on the balance between ballad and crowd-pleasing rage that TRIPPIE establishes on the musical end. Gibb depicts duality in his signature "bubblegum surrealism" style, finding TRIPPIE at the end of a lollipop with bright sunny skies and gummy bears on one side while UFOs approach a headless knight removing his skull after a fire breathing dragon had removed his helmet prior. It's a crazy description, but even that alone doesn't describe all of what Gibb was able to pack into this year-end contending album cover. Though Trip At Knight has yet to be given a release date, fan speculation would indicate that it's not far from arrival. Regardless of when it happens, TRIPPIE and Gibb have crafted a composition worth the immersion.

We go Behind the Cover of Trip At Knight with Stephen Gibb to learn about the creative process and vibrant duality present throughout his collaborations with the otherwise electrifying TRIPPIE REDD :

Upon the announcement of ‘Trip At Knight’, audiences were taken aback yet again by the lively brilliance of the new cover painting. Visually, what did you aim to achieve with this project with respect to the ideas that Trippie presented?

Gibb : All I had to go off of was the title, so because of the obvious pun, I decided to exploit it in the artwork. I know Trippie has this playful side and I thought it would be fun to do a dark side to the painting and a lighter side with Trippie dominating the more colourful area. On the left, I wanted this night time scene, bits of medieval fantasy and contemplation of mortality. The threat of the dragon looms in the centre and kind of symbolizes the powers beyond our control. The headless knight ponders the skull as he leaks a purple haze from his suit of armour…the smoke bisects the painting and creates a divide between the light and dark parts, like his thoughts are drifting away from his ominous confrontation of death and ascending into a trippy, candy-coated world of psychedelic bliss. I fashioned Trippie as a product to be consumed, which every popular recording artist is essentially packaged to be.

There's plenty to look at and you've detailed it well, especially with there being multiple layers to uncover with each passing view. Seeing as you’re able to integrate Trippie seamlessly within your personified worlds, would you say that his persona is the ideal fit for your signature “Bubblegum Surrealism’’?

Gibb : Yeah, I think it works well together. I think it would be awesome to see an animated movie combining our two worlds!

Animators, take note! llgfx took on the 'Holy Smokes' cover for streaming platforms, so that was cool to see, and then there's KDC Visions who did the track's lyric video, which was fantastic. Great talent aboard the record's visual identity, that's for sure. Stephen, this is of course not the first time you’ve collaborated. You illustrated ‘Life’s A Trip’ (2018) and the single artworks for ‘Miss The Rage’ and ‘Holy Smokes’. How would you describe the collaborative process with Trippie and how has it evolved since ‘Life’s A Trip’?

Gibb : 'Life’s a Trip' was a bit of an experiment—it kept getting bigger and bigger as it developed. Trippie had this idea that it be so crazy-busy that the eye didn’t know where to look next. It grew from my more conservative start to this chaotic collection of characters that I think worked really well. With that completed, I think I earned some trust and with 'Trip at Knight', I was given the freedom to develop more of a concept and a narrative to the whole image on my own. 'Miss the Rage' and 'Holy Smokes' were more directed by him and his team.

Despite the maelstrom of figures and elements present, there's a synchronicity to it, so the goal was definitely met. Looking back at that initial collaboration, did you ever envision having your work represent a full-length record?

Gibb : I thought it would be cool when I was younger and did actually fantasize about it. I grew up with record albums all around me, so the visual impact of what they contained certainly left an impression.

You’ve done several music illustrations since then. Is this perhaps something you’d be interested in continuing to do down the line?

Gibb : As long as it makes sense and doesn’t go in a direction I’m unwilling to go. I have turned down so many potential projects that it’s crazy, simply because I can’t physically manage to do everything and because I just didn’t like the concepts presented to me. Someone requesting me to do something that just doesn’t fit my MO is just torturous to actually do. So, those kinds of commission I have to decline. Album art is pretty fun, so if the jobs that fit my aesthetic keep coming, I will keep doing them.

Here's hoping there are more down the line, like that new cover for Romero Mosley's 'Ro's Colored Glasses' you just shared not long ago. Great stuff! Touching back on ‘Trip At Knight’, is crafting a world around him distinct in any way to your own personal paintings? Cover artwork is of course not among your typical line of work even though you also illustrated for Hope Tala.

Gibb : It is a pretty easy jump from what I do and what Trippie and Hope asked me to do. I just have to keep myself in check a bit and not meander off into the land of Stephen Gibb too much.

At the surface level, your art creates intrigue through a signature happy yet dark visual commentary. There’s a very cheerful use of color that disguises the facial expressions and messaging laying underneath. It’s satirical and it works, encouraging immersion. Seeing as the cover is incredibly distinct to what one would consider a rap album cover, do you feel as though the cover can stand alone as a painting? Or would you argue that it’s synonymous with the records themselves?

Gibb : I think they hold their own in spite of the famous faces, but for fans, they are probably indelibly linked to the music. Either way, people are digging the art as well as the music and it seems to work. And yes, I think it was very daring and inspired for Trippie to use my work in the first place, because it was unusual for rap or hip hop to be linked to imagery like that before.

I'd agree, and it worked like a charm. As mentioned prior, his persona fits right into the vibrant worlds you depict. ‘Trip At Knight’, in addition to ‘Life’s A Trip’ and the single artworks for ‘Miss The Rage’ and ‘Holy Smokes’, is stacked with detail and vivid color use. About how long do these usually take to complete? Surely a lot of patience is needed in seeing these evolve from sketch to final product.

Gibb : At my normal pace, they could take a couple of weeks or up to a month depending on the complexity. As bizarre as this sounds—'Holy Smokes' took me about day because there was some urgency to complete it on a schedule. Don’t expect that out of me every day!

You pulled that together in day? Insane, especially with how these works evolve from sketch to final product, as we're privileged to show above. Like the predecessors, ‘Trip At Knight’ is a masterclass in intentional color use. Though some may deem it insignificant or as simply a marketing element, the color palette holds a great weight and in your works in particular, it’s synonymous with the characters and their facial expressions. How do you approach this particular element of your paintings?

Gibb : There is usually a notion of what colours are going where but until they actually go down I can’t be sure if they will work. One I’ve settled on the main areas of colour, the little nuances and balancing of the rest takes place. I try to balance everything compositionally and chromatically so there is a visual harmony. I know that sounds a little like some kind of formula, and maybe a little of the magic is gone, but there is a lot of looking and adjusting to get it right.

Continuing on this topic of color, duality is something you explore through it. “Essence of Hope and Despair”, “Death of Contemplation”, and “Laughing In The Face Of Death” are some of your works that immediately come to mind, in addition to ‘Trip At Knight’. Maybe I’m looking too much into the psychological aspect of it, but would you say it’s important to sometimes make light of situations for one’s own sanity?

Gibb : Again, like with the composition and the colour, there has to be a psychological balance even if it’s slightly lopsided or subtle. Evil gets paired with good, misery with humour etc. I don’t want things to take a dark decent into despair without the glimmer of hope sparkling somewhere.

Definitely, and as mentioned, it's a fine balance that is present in plenty of your works. In a time where it’s quite easy to become disconnected to art and music because of the fast paced lifestyles that we’ve become accustomed to, how important do you feel it is for art to spark a genuine reaction, whether that be through an analytical lens or a more general, surface level enthusiasm? I ask because of the great deal of fans that are now appreciative of your work because of Trippie’s music.

Gibb : I can only hope that something triggers a sense of wonder and intrigue with what I do. Some kind of connection is made with the viewer that goes deeper than a superficial appreciation of my painting skills. I don’t make paintings so that someone can marvel at my ability to represent something. That’s basic level painting. I think the underlying intent and motivation is to convey some kind of visual prompt that awakens dormant parts of the viewer’s mind and gets them thinking for themselves. My skills as a painter are surpassed by any number of artists—it’s the other, elusive qualities of narrative, commentary and mystery that I think are my strengths. Stimulating a response in the viewer that they may not have considered until they chanced upon my work keeps me excited by art. I’ll keep probing that relationship between abstract thoughts and concepts and how I can shape them into something interesting in paint until something else comes along.

The Golden Rules of Retirement Travel

By Stacey Lastoe

This is part of a collection of stories celebrating the many shapes retirement travel can take. Read more here.

Bonni and Bob Gumport travel regularly in their retirement. Not beholden to one short vacation a year (they average seven big ones), their compounding experience has allowed them to develop a code of rules by which they abide— tips and tricks to use wherever they go. After one too many of the small rooms common in boutique hotels, for example, they’ve cut them out entirely. Also out of the question are walking tours within two days of arrival in a new destination, as they prefer to settle in. Their daughter Lauren describes them as “pros on retiree travel,” but they are not the only ones with advice to give.

There are former museum curators who have learned not to overbook themselves; solo travelers who always learn a little of the local language. Adherence to anyone’s rules will never ensure a vacation free of hiccups, where no flight is ever delayed , every tour is worth the hours put in, and every meal sublime . But learning from others may improve your chances of a good time—even when things inevitably go sideways. We’ve spoken to over 20 retired travelers to hear how their Golden Years have informed the way that they travel. Below, find some of their savviest secrets for better trips.

1. Take a ride on the hop-on, hop-off bus tour

If she’s traveling in a city that offers one of those double-decker hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tours, Denver -based Heidi Burtoni, 65, who goes on multiple trips per year, is definitely stepping aboard. Burtoni says it’s a great way to figure out the rest of her itinerary, get tips from other travelers and the tour guide, and get a feel for the new city. “It’s the first thing I do to get the lay of the land,” says Burtoni. Her previous career in sales means the frequent solo traveler will “talk to anybody,” so these tours also open the door for socializing and making connections.

Know what to skip—“whether that means avoiding tourist traps, the most sweltering hours at fairs, or not putting yourself in danger by flagging a taxi when it's unsafe," says Lynn Zelevansky.

2. Figure out what to avoid

For Paul and Lynn Zelevansky (77 and 76, respectively), travel is less about hitting all the top spots and more about learning where not to go, “whether that means avoiding tourist traps, the most sweltering hours at fairs, or not putting yourself in danger by flagging a taxi when it’s unsafe.” They visit the Venice Biennale in fall, now, rather than at the opening, to avoid the worst of the crushes—it also helps them more effectively skirt the city's infamous pickpockets (Lynn's wallet was stolen on a crowded vaporetto ferry in 2022).

3. BYOTP (Bring Your Own Toilet Paper)

“Toilet paper in Europe is very scratchy … not good for sensitive parts,” says Florida native Karen Butera, an avid pickleball player who often travels with the sport in mind. Whenever overseas, she always travels with her own toilet paper. Butera, 66, is taking her granddaughter to see Taylor Swift in Paris this summer, and, yes, she will be packing TP—creature comforts are even more crucial on the road than they are at home.

4. Don’t overschedule

Packed-to-the-brim itineraries used to be J. Patrice Marandel’s MO, but these days, the former chief curator at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is more keen on scheduling “plenty of time for the unexpected.” Gone are the nonstop days with planned breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; instead, Marandel, 79, leaves room for the possibility of something unexpected and “exciting.” It often pays off.

5. Pack light

Buffalo, New York-based Lisa LaLonde, 74, and her travel companion Antoinette Judelsohn, 70, whom she’s been traveling with for over a decade, are pros at packing light . The pals can manage for a month on very little, relying on the versatility of black leggings and black tops, says LaLonde. The trick? Develop a travel uniform, bring just a few versions, and wash undergarments as necessary, says Judelsohn. Big suitcases stuffed to the brim with a ton of different outfits are more of a hassle than a luxury. “They’re a pain in the neck if you’re getting on a train or off a train … or moving from one city to another,” says LaLonde.

“Anybody and their brother with an RV travels on Sunday,” warns Jenelle Jones.

6. Don't get (too) excited

Judelsohn, a former teacher who met LaLonde when they worked together at the same school in Buffalo, has another travel rule that’s served her well: Letting go of expectations. “I never get excited about a trip,” says Judelsohn. Instead, the savvy traveler lets the excitement emerge based on what's in front of her in the moment.

7. Avoid traveling on Sundays

RVer Jenelle Jones, 64, is against traveling on Sundays. As she puts it, “anybody and their brother with an RV travels on Sunday.” Long weekend RVers who have to get back for work on Monday use Sundays to head home, so retired Jones, 64, simply avoids the day altogether. It's also, according to her, the “biggest day to get in an RV wreck”— yet another reason to sit back and relax. You have nowhere you need to be, after all. Take advantage.

8. Learn a few words of the local language

Charlotte Simpson , whose blog Traveling Black Widow documents her travels (100 countries and counting so far), says her number one travel rule is to learn a few key phrases—hello, goodbye, please, thank you—in the dominant language of the places she visits. Simpson says her efforts are always well received. “I just find, inevitably, it sort of stuns people when I even just say good morning.” Simpson, who prefers not to reveal her age, says she gets a lot out of bridging the language gap with just a few words: “It just makes people so friendly and so happy that you took this moment to learn [their language].”

9. Travel slower

When you cram too much into a single trip, “the whole experience just kind of becomes a blur,” say Gillian Batt, 43, and Stephanie Myers, 51, whose blog Our Freedom Years documents their early retirement and subsequent travels. The couple, who hail from Ontario, Canada, say staying in one place for an extended period of time helps them avoid travel burnout, keep costs low, and enjoy the whole experience more. All that rushing around on limited PTO? Well behind them.

For RVers like Norm, keeping things flexible is key.

10. Go your own way

The pandemic crystallized things for Kim Kelly Stamp , 65, and her wife Liz Schick, 62, who left it all behind and decided to travel around the country in a red 21-foot teardrop trailer. They’ve since gotten really good at going with the flow. “We know where we’re going to stay along the way, but we hold that really loosely and give ourselves the opportunity to make something else happen,” explains Stamp. This approach led them to Laurel, Mississippi, where the HGTV show Hometown —of which Stamp and Schick are big fans of, is based. Instead of following a regimented schedule, they followed their passion when the road forked, literally.

11. Keep an open heart and mind

In spite of being seasoned travelers, John and Bev Martin, 60, who started the RetirementTravelers site to share their journey with others, admit they still need to remind themselves that they can’t control everything. “We have to be patient and receptive to the lessons the world is trying to teach,” says the couple. One that keeps coming up? “Retirement is not the time to stop dreaming about new and different routes in life.”

12. Do your research

The Gumports appreciate getting a taste of the local culture wherever they are traveling, and they’re not opposed to tours or experiences that deliver on this front. But Bonni has a few words of advice: “If you’re looking at purchasing something that uses words such as ‘bespoke, artisanal, farm-to-table’ and more fluffy adjectives, make sure these experiences are as authentic as they sound.” Read reviews thoroughly and take the time to research before you buy, advises Bonni. It's fun to be spontaneous, but it's easy to be misled by clever marketing and buzzwords.

13. It’s a marathon—not a sprint

It wasn’t long before Brenda Huyhn adopted—and adapted— a popular van-lifer rule: Don’t travel more than 3 hours, get in by 3 p.m., and stay at least 3 nights. Huyhn, who at 47 retired earlier than many, is adamant about not trying to do too much in one day to avoid burnout. She and her husband take their time, prioritizing “quality over quantity” with their stops and stays. It makes the entire experience all the richer.

14. You can always head home

Diana Petterson is on track to hit the 100-country mark just in time for her 70th birthday in 2026. But as much as the Black solo traveler loves seeing the world, she’s not afraid to ditch a trip if something isn’t working out. “Wherever I am in the world, if for whatever reason I am uncomfortable, or I don't feel well … I’m going to plop down that credit card , and get home.”

15. Start the day early to avoid the crowds

Artist Simma Liebman, 76, enjoys going to museums while visiting new cities and places. But since the retiree is immunocompromised, she plans these outings a little differently. Now Liebman hits the museums “as early in the day as possible” and masks up while taking in the art "unless there are very few people inside.” Whatever your motivation, rising early is something you can be sure the hordes of 20-something backpackers won't be doing. Beat them to all the best spots.

“I like a very good hotel, but not necessarily the best,” says Betty. Focus on getting the right location.

16. Base yourself strategically

Betty, 80, an art collector who declined to share her last name, has found that mid-sized hotels (meaning about 200 rooms) in central locations, with just enough of the services she wants and needs, do the job. “I like a very good hotel, but not necessarily the best,” says Betty. As long as you have the basics covered, it's really about location, location, location.

17. Don’t wait for tomorrow

Instead of putting off travel for a later date, Chicago -based Ruthie Maldonado-Delwiche advises those interested in exploring the world to get out there and “do it now.” Because “tomorrow isn’t promised,” Maldonado-Delwiche, who’s been traveling since she retired in 2017, says. Don't wait if there’s something you want to do or a place you want to visit.

Former psychiatrist Ann Heaslett, 60, who aims to run the six major world marathons in her retirement, feels exactly the same way. “There’s no time like the present.”
