Final Work
Juneteenth 2 Infinity began on the first Juneteenth that was deemed a national holiday. Commissioned to create an immersive installation at the John Hardy store, I designed a window wrap graphic to activate the facade of the brand's Soho flagship. I had already begun to design the Juneteenth 2 Infinity T-Shirt, using a multimedia approach, featuring several elements from the tee print.
The window graphics maximized space for KHIRY Signature visual elements; polished gold as rendered in Keyshot from original Rhino models, and the KHIRY Khartoum Silhouette Monogram. This worked to emphasize the notion of a branded takeover which was a narrative win for both brands, and to introduce downtown shoppers to KHIRY's most distinctive visual signatures. The arrangement of the elements created ideal frames for displays of original sculptures and KHIRY jewelry, further demonstrating the brand's depth and range

The following year intime for the next Juneteenth Holiday, we released our first apparel offering under the KHIRY brand, an adaptation the Juneteenth 2 Infinity Graphics first previewed at the John Hardy Installation. The tees were produced with support from Ca.la.

I took a multimedia approach to the graphic development, incorporating techniques from throughout my artistic journey, including hand sketching, 3d Modeling and Rendering, and Original Typography. I combined the elements in Photoshop to form the final composition.

To produce the t-shirts I worked with Ca.La to source international production, and provided fit references, pantone colors, and specs for the graphics placement and neck tag.
