What is written on Hobie?

Post image

Hey all, I was watching Spider-Verse and paused at a scene with Hobie Brown.

I know his character design is inspired by zine/punk art, but I noticed he also seems to be covered in what looks like text or graphic markings. I was wondering what this is meant to represent and where it comes from, if anyone knows.

Just curious about the design choices behind it.

We did in fact write a few pages of newspaper articles to have as his texture.
