Behind the art

The visual world of Trash Traders is built around expressive raccoons, chaotic market moments, and a shady skunk who launched a coin he probably shouldn’t have.

Characters are hand-drawn by the amazing artist Mokoko, bringing the raccoons, skunk, and every bad trade to life with humor, personality, and just the right amount of chaos.
