👋 Hi, I’m George Hayakawa from Aichi, Japan!

I’m a graphic designer and the founder of Gamana Boys. I had the awesome opportunity to design the T-shirts for the opening of Empty Shelf, and I’m really excited about all the creative projects we’ll collaborate on in the future!

Over the years, I’ve worked on all kinds of designs—everything from corporate identities to flyers. What inspires me? It’s definitely the vibes of 80s-90s Japanese manga, album covers from pop and rock music, and those quirky yokai (Japanese monster) illustrations.

On a personal note, the best thing that’s happened to me recently is the birth of my first child! It’s been a fun, hilarious, and heartwarming ride.

But Empty Shelf isn’t just about T-shirts! They’ve got tote bags, stickers, patches, and more. If you’re curious, check out my shop. Gamana Boys 

By the way, I’m always open to design work! If you have something in mind, reach out to Empty Shelf—they’ll pass it on to me, and we’ll make it happen!
