Artist Turns Kanye West’s “Bound 2″ Video Into Children’s Book

Kanye West's "Bound 2" video, featuring a topless Kim Kardashian, is about the last visual we'd think to re-imagine as a children's book but graphic designer and illustrator Zak Tebbal did just that. Tebbal, a senior at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), used the video as inspiration for his senior thesis and told FADER that, "The translation of 'Bound 2' into a children's book felt appropriate because the only audience that Kanye isn't reaching right now is toddlers, and they are missing out on some of the important life lessons that Kanye has to offer. As a big Kanye fan, I felt the need to fill this void."

Tebbal released the full work, titled Bound 2Gether, on his website and depicted Kim as a baby chick that Ye saves after the chick runs away. Featuring a play on the lyrics, Tebbal's work is pretty ingenious.

This isn't the first time the video has been spoofed. Shortly after the video's release in 2013, comedic actors Seth Rogen and James Franco remade the video with Franco playing the role of Yeezy and Rogen acting as the apple of his eye. Kanye loved the remake so much that he reached out to the two funny guys to see if they would perform the Yeezus cut at his wedding. Unfortunately the performance never materialized but Franco thinks that may have been for the better. "I think it would have been awesome for about 10 seconds, but then there would be Seth with his shirt off in front of the Kardashians."
