Walden 50th Anniversary Logo Laminate
In 2015, Walden Surfboards celebrated fifty years in the business of making performance surfboards. For the occasion, they asked me to create a design package that included a logo laminate that was placed on boards to commemorate the occasion, as well as, digital assets like one at the bottom of this page.
Greenroom Festival Promotional Artwork
Greenroom Festival is a one-of-a-kind festival that takes place in Hawaii and Japan each year. For starters, it's a festival that is put on by a gallery, and not just any gallery - one that exclusively supports surf art. So I was pumped to be asked to create the promotional artwork for the 2015 Greenroom Festival Hawaii
Mid Pacific Institute Magazine Illustration
Mid-Pacific Institute is a private school in the heart of O'ahu that is focused on bringing innovators, artists, and individuals through a technology-enabled immersive classroom environment to prepare them for the world around them. They were getting ready to introduce new classroom equipment to help kids learn, so I illustrated this cover for their monthly magazine.
Hobie Tee Designs
Whether you surf, SUP, sail, kayak, or fish, you're probably familiar with the legacy of Hobie Alter. Hobie created the first surf shop in Southern California in the 1950's and revolutionized the sport with the first polyurethane foam surfboard and went on to transform sailing as well with their best-selling Hobie Cat.
Papyrus Father's Day Card
Some people are just born with the natural ability to absolutely crush dad jokes. And here at Nick Kuchar Art & Design Co. we embrace those with this special talent. So I harnessed the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the feeling of road tripping with pops in the Volkswagen and created this Father's Day card for sale at Papyrus.
Pataloha Shirt Art
In the process of revitalizing their "Pataloha" brand, Patagonia contacted me to create some new shirt art. Pataloha, is a division of Patagonia that was started by Rell Sun in 2002. This was the beginning of an effort to revive it and bring Hawaiian aloha spirit and design to the popular and eco-responsible Patagonia brand.
Vintage Hawaiian Poster for the Elvis Foundation
I designed a custom Elvis poster for the "Aloha from Hawaii" 40th Anniversary celebration that marked 40 years since Elvis Presley played his last concert here in Hawaii. This vintage-inspired poster was just one of the many ways that the Pacific Historic Parks and the Elvis Foundation commemorated the King of Rock and Roll.
Hendrick's Gin Ad Campaign
A match made in paradise. I had the privilege to work with Hendrick's Gin on a gallery show at the Manifest in Chinatown. I presented my line of Hawaii art along with a vintage-inspired ad campaign that I created that was inspired by Hendricks.
