I'M A FEATURED ADVISOR ON PIVOTPLANET!

I am now an official advisor on Pivot Planet and I am available worldwide for one on one consultations!



If you've ever been interested in changing careers or learning more about becoming a professional working artist or gallery owner, you can sign up on PivotPlanet.com and book a session with me!

I will be able to help you with any specific questions you may have about being an artist and taking your art to the next level.  I've been making a living as a professional artist for almost 20 years and can help you with anything from how to market your work, how to price your art, how to sell it, creating a collector base, how to work with galleries, and pretty much any other question you may have.

Or maybe you'd like to start your own gallery.  Since I've been running Crewest Gallery in L.A. for the last decade, I know I can advise you on important steps you'll need to take to form and run your own gallery, sales structures, marketing and pr, dealing with artists, contracts, and a ton of other stuff.

So if you think you could use some expert advise and are serious about taking your art or yourself to the next level, then I'd love to help you out!

MURAL: THE DOWNTOWN ARTIST AT LARGE

"The Downtown Artist At Large" a mural by Man One © 2012

Located on Winston St @ MaIn St. in Downtown Los Angeles, the mural commemorates Crewest Gallery's 10 year anniversary by honoring a local homeless artist known simply as "The Artist" by locals.

Timelapse video of the making of the mural:

Lamont or the "Downtown Artist At Large" (as he prefers to be called) has been a friend of the gallery since we moved to Downtown in 2006. He's had his trials and tribulations but through it all he continues drawing and painting on the streets of LA.

Here's a little video interview I did with the Artist so you can get to know his story:
