PORTRAITS BY MAN ONE

Happy to announce the launch of my new site: “PORTRAITS BY MAN ONE” solely dedicated to highlighting my commission based portrait works. It’s a very simple site but with the help of our good friend and film maker Hans Fjellestad we created a nice little film to explain my process. You can always contact me direct if interested in getting a portrait done for you or a loved one at: manone@manone.com

Enjoy!

Man One explains his process on creating unique and commissioned portraits for his collectors. Using only aerosol paints, he captures the spirit and expressions of kids and adults alike. Order yours at: manone@manone.com Film by Hans Fjellestad for Crewest Studio Man One © 2019

EL SERENO HAPPINESS

I was recently hired by the developers at the new Hatchspaces facility in El Sereno to create a mural that showed respect and pride for the neighborhood as well as a connection to the scientific work that would be happening inside this new facility. After many meetings and conversations we came up with an idea that would highlight the four different chemical compounds that are attributed to happiness:
dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin. We also chose to highlight local town hero and science leader Willie Zuniga. Watch the video below to give you a better sense of the project.

POSEIDON MURAL

Sometimes a good creative project lands on your lap and the client happens to be just as cool as the project itself. This was one of these scenarios.  Immediately it became apparent that POSEIDON was going to be the subject of the mural. Watch this short video and see how it all came together!
