Earlier this summer I created this fun mural in association with LACCNP for Mayor Garcetti's VISION ZERO initiative. The City's goal is to eliminate all traffic deaths by 2025. I figured that creating a large mural aimed at the kids in the neighborhood would be best for the initiative in this particular location. The mural is located on the side of Sam's Market on the corner of Westlake and 6th St. The title is "Cuidado Niños Jugando" (Caution Children Playing). I hope people enjoy the mural and the message as they travel around the MacArthur Park area.
NEWLY COMMISSIONED KIDS PORTRAITS
I was recently commissioned to create these fun and colorful kids portraits by a man who wanted to surprise his wife with a unique birthday gift! Although it was a tight deadline, we were all really happy with the way they turned out! If you'd like to commission some of your own portraits, contact me: manone@manone.com
DOCKWEILER STATE BEACH MURAL
The great guys at the Mobile Mural Lab put together a great public art project that they designed at Dockweiler State Beach.
They asked me to take part and invite some youth. So I made it a family event and got my kids and niece to help me out.
Here are some pics for you to enjoy.
They loved the free form spray painting.
Eventhough I had nothing to do with the design (I just helped with the tags on the walls) I think the final result was awesome!

TRUCK PAINTING @ ALTERNATIVE CAFE GALLERY
"Coin Operated" - While visiting Seaside, California for my solo show that opened on Feb.12, I got the opportunity to paint a panel truck as a live demo and promotion for the gallery.
Blank truck was my canvas...
Truck gets prepped by razor blade..
Gallery owner, Scott, lets one of his workers know that he missed a spot!..
Day one was a "Man" style piece on the passenger side...
Outline first....
Filling in next...
Two hours later..side one is finished!
In front of the final piece..
Posing with Vince (friend and show curator)...
My childrens gave me a thumbs up!
Day two I rocked a character on the driver's side...
Finished pic...
I had a good time knocking it out and speaking with the local young writers and art enthusiasts...
My show is up at the Alternative Cafe Gallery until March 10, 2010 www.thealternativecafe.com
