One element that is central to the graphic novel “Chronicle tha Outboi,” and is part of what makes it unique among comic books, is the thematic and stylistic influence of “the trap,”. A common theme in rap and drug-dealing culture, a trap is a physical space where illegal drugs are bought and sold. Not only is the trap a source of revenue, it is also a place to kick back, relax and listen to music. Demery was exposed to this environment, but had since distanced himself from the trap life and only used the culture as an artistic influence.

“No one has ever done it before, mixing what they call ‘the trap’ with comics,” said Demery.

When Demery started college, the “Chronicle tha Outboi” graphic novel took shape as he began writing, drawing and organizing the project. However, in Demery’s words, art is, “a ‘circle of life’ type thing.”
