Holiday 2018

Permanent art installation for the RHC Kawasaki.

Spring 2018 (artwork from 2016)

Christmas campaign designs and paint.
Ron Herman Store, Sendagaya, Tokyo

RHC Yokohama Minatomirai
The concept for this project was for me to design and paint my own pop-up work shop -"kngee's Paint Shop for RHC", sign and while I was in RHC store in Yokohama(11/17-11/22), I used the pop up shop space to paint and decorate vintage objects such as eames chairs, pepsi sign, glass jars, Christmas ornaments, etc.  I also brought empty paint cans and hand painted posters to make the space look like my studio in Boston. 
A beautiful large painting that says 1STEPFORWARD on the wall is not my work and it was by the artist from the SF Bay Area, Jeff Canham.

This job was to design lettering for Ron Herman Japan's seasonal theme, and paint the design on main entrance door and rear entrance door(both are glass door). 
Also, painting a quote from the movie "It's a wonderful life" on floor, 4 A-frame signs and 2 rectangle signs for Ron Herman Cafe, and some other store display objects such as surfing wetsuit and few pairs of sneakers.
