Japan were commissioned by Ales, involving full interior designs and occasionally exterior architectural design as well. The first began as simple interior modifications to the company's Ales International salon in Harajuku, to accommodate Mace artwork bought by the owner. Customer satisfaction and enthusiasm led to the expansion of the commission to include the full interior, to provide more display space — work which would go on for nearly two years between 2000 and 2002, even as the salon remained open for business. The salon's entry walls received special attention; a ballpoint pen mural and mixed-media installation which was widely reported by both hair-make publications and general media outlets. A number of Mace's "365Daze" Media Graffiti are on permanent display at the VIEWseum. The official re-christening of the salon as the Lennie Mace VIEWseum occurred on February 2, 2002. Promotional materials describe it as an ongoing, full-interior, mixed-media, enviro-installation, with a collection of the artist's ballpoint pen originals sharing the space with site specific installations incorporating imaginative arrangements of his patron's other otaku collections. Three mannequin-like creations with elaborately fabricated hairstyles, all commissioned by Ales, were entered into a national design competition in 2004. One of them, a cyber-punk rendition very different from Mace's 2D artwork, went on to win the Grand Prize. Another mammoth Ales commission was a full interior mural done in paint for the company's Sugar salon — a rare occasion of Mace creating figurative imagery using a medium other than ballpoint pen, at a scale he'd never before attempted. These commissions included signage, promotional artwork, and anything else per Mace's whim which would serve the client's fancy. These sometimes included the design of furnishings such as chairs and tables, and often the actual hand-manufacturing of details such as clocks, to match the overall designs. 2011~ Drawings on wood and denim figure largely in recent artwork. Mace's denim "scrolls" have been appearing in greater quantities since the beginning of the 2010s. The ballpoint-on-denim creations, a contemporary interpretation of traditional Japanese sumi ink on washi paper scrolls, are fabricated from the artist's own used jeans. Woven tapestries from Japan bearing Lennie Mace's imagery started making appearances in American galleries in 2012. Mace has been creating single-panel cartoons under the title Japanglish101 since 2013 as a contributor to the japanglish.org website. The cartoons offer "twisted takes on Japanese culture". Portrait commissions continue to be a substantial component of Mace's output.
