TREJO'S COFFEE AND DONUTS!
Unless you've been hiding under a rock in LA, you know that actor and all around bad ass, Danny Trejo, has opened up a donut shop in Hollywood. I was honored to have been commissioned to create two large paintings that were installed on the exterior of the flashy pink building.
Next time you go grab some donuts take a selfie in front of one of my pieces and please tag me on instagram (@manoneart)
Trejo's Coffee and Donuts is located in Hollywood:
6785 Santa Monica Blvd
at Highland Ave
Los Angeles, Ca 90038.
Below are some pics and love from IG'ers.

POEM BY JOSEPH ROSS
This is the first time (that a know of) where a poem was written, inspired by one of my murals. Enjoy!
On “The Downtown Artist at
Large”
A
Mural by Man One, Los Angeles, 2012
for
Lamont
by: Joseph Ross © 2013
If
only America’s roof
could
keep out the cold
the
way colors sometimes
can,
the artist’s brush
might
tower over
the
world like God or
God’s mother, awaiting
not
worship or gold
but
use. The brush gripped
to
splash the color of light
in
the shape of a broken
life.
Good and evil,
the
saliva of God, wait
impatiently
to mix with
the
hue of open eyes,
the
color of coffee,
the
shade of an impatient
country
where some are never
at
home. The artist finally
arrives
at the color
of
a wall’s destiny:
every
rich man’s wall re-born
with
a poor man’s face.

GRAFFITI PORTRAITS: SARA & NICOLE
A good friend commissioned these paintings of his two grand daughters,
Sara and Nicole.
Done in my typical aerosol style, it was easy to mix the colors
and patterns because the images of the girls were so cheerful and happy!
If interested in personal portraits, please hit me up.
(But they ain't cheap!)
