Amami Part I - Brooklyn Geisha

This project was done as a collaboration with an amazing fellow artist friend of mine for a local Japanese restaurant and bar. The location couldn't have been more ideal; as soon as you walk through the door the wall in the back is facing you. And that's where our Brooklyn geisha lives. The wall was a combination of background paint, stencils and collaged paper. The color pallet was specifically chosen to complement the interior design. The images used were all working in unity to reflect the culture of a Japanese restaurant in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Hi, here's a little scoop on what I do. As a preteen I fell in love with the walls in my neighborhood covered in aerosol art murals and tags. Through the years that grew into the long time passion of mine typography, hand-lettering and sign painting. For a good part of my career I have spent working as an art director and graphic designer. I thoroughly enjoy the process of the things I create whether it be a commercial, video, mural, logo, sculpture or otherwise. A great idea with the proper execution is king. And I live for those moments when it all comes together. The interdisciplinary practice of mixing all my skills is my life blood. I love it all. So when working directly with clients I thrive on collaboration to make the best decisions creating a harmony within art and design.
