#FlipHenry. Thierry Henry's most memorable moments on the pitch. That's art.
With 400 goals to his name, KICKTV went one step further. Experience Thierry's brilliance through the mixed lenses of video, hand drawn flipbook art, and motion graphic animation.
Henry also happens to be a fan of old-school hip-hop, so KICKTV used the music track "Work," by the late, great Guru a.k.a Gang Starr as the backdrop, because Henry out-thinks, out-classes, and out-works his opponents. Anyone can score a goal. But one worth watching one frame at a time? That needs to be shared. #FlipHenry
Special thanks to cartoon flipbook artist Ben Zurawski for the beautiful, hand-drawn tribute.
