Featuring both world reknowned and up-and-coming artists from Tokyo and the USA, this collectable, one-of-a-kind Tee series is a celebration of creativity with roots in the sneaker subculture or the the urban fabric from which it emerged.
KIKS TYO ARTIST SERIES - "SHOHEI" TEE SHOHEI was born in Tokyo in 1980. As the son of Katsuhiro Otomo, best known as the creator and artist behind the the ledgendary manga Akira, SHOEHEI gravitated to art early, eventually graduating from Tama Art University where he honed his skill in oil painting. SHOHEI_s complex themes and illustrations are centered around a seemingly post-apocolyptic Japan. His detailed illustrations primarily use a mixture of marker and ballpoint pen. If you_ve never seen SHOHEI_s work, we hope this tee offers a small peek into his visual world. SHOEI_s site, which displays his portfolio, is a must see.
