Mop-mop or often referred to as the Acehnese violin is a traditional theater originating from Aceh. This art is categorized in the art of speech.
As a performing art, Mop-Mop contains elements of dance, story (dialogue), singing through reciprocated rhymes with funny, ridiculous, and full of humor.

Artwork Process
From sketching, digitizing, and product mockup.
Sketch & Digital
Huge time and small team


The concept that was used as an illustration was the mop-mop show consisting of the syeh (mastermind/violin player), darabaro (bride) and linto (groom). The development of the initial sketch was greatly helped by my colleague Jack (@jack_monarch). Then the illustrations were digitally developed to be applied on the cover of our master’s research book on the Aceh Performing Art, MOP-MOP, T. Zulfajri (@tejo_cemara).
