Yusuke Hanai x Almond Custom Tee

As a teenager, Yusuke Hanai was hooked by the tones Jerry Garcia coaxed out of his Tiger guitar then pulled down a rabbit hole of inspiration by the Grateful Dead’s legendary album cover illustrator Rick Griffin. Yusuke began seeking Griffin’s work wherever he could get a glimpse of it—old surf movies, magazines, vintage concert posters. Griffin’s style began to inform a young Yusuke’s own illustrations and drawings, kicking an already developing artistic practice into high gear. A few years later, Yusuke’s steady diet of surfing, Psychedelic Rock, and the works of Lost Generation writers like Kerouac would propel him to San Francisco to study at the Academy of Art. These days, Yusuke’s work filters those Californian influences through his own unique perspective across a wide range of projects that touch everything from murals to collectible figurines to the custom artwork found on his Almond surfboard collaborations.
