Along with acting, martial-arts & stunt coordinating, New Jersey-native Kai's early career was in New York via the high fashion industry as an illustrator for Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. During his tenure, he developed his own line of custom artwear which he hand-paints directly on leather jackets and garments. Kai has always drawn inspiration from the movies and relocated to L.A., set up a home studio and success followed with feature film poster design, commissions, and his passion projects including cinematic collages in oils and acrylics. Prominent collectors of his works include Ridley Scott, Harrison Ford, and Clint Eastwood.
