Hanus

As an artist for the past 30 years, my experience has been in many various forms of graphic design, from screen printing in high school to commercial advertising with ad agencies all over the world. My passion however, lies with technical fashion and apparel graphics. I have extensive experience and knowledge of the Action Sports Industry and the SPEED markets-in both design and development. High-end motocross riding gear, full helmet and glove design to creating designs for wet & dry suits for the watersports market. All of which focus on graphics with a harmonious blend of function, anatomic design, innovation and technology. In addition to the Action Sports and Speed markets, I also create designer toys and action figures as well as design band and tour merchandise. Trade event and special projects. I am a painter, a builder and an illustrator at heart. The Vader Project is a reimagining of the iconic Darth Vader helmet curated by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys (dketoys.com). Kelemer and Marks gathered close to 100 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist painters, artists, and designers to participate. For this unique project each artist was given a 1:1 scale authentic prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet used in the STAR WARS™ films. The helmets served as a blank canvas for each artist to paint, design, mash up, and customize.
