[edit]Some of Hill's most well-known works have been Death Bear, White Power Milk, and Trophy Scarves. Hill has been featured in numerous publications including Vice,[1] Huffington Post,[2] Hyperallergic, Wall Street Journal,[3] BlackBook,[4] and The New York Times.[5]
Hill's art is often confrontational, described as "[poking] holes into people’s ideas of comfort and [forcing] them to negotiate how far they are willing to go."[6] He adapts personas in social spaces such as Twitter or Tumblr that address issues of race, class, and power.[6][7]
Hill was a Blade of Grass Artist Fellows in 2013.[8]
