MAN ONE TEAMS UP WITH 5TH GRADERS TO CREATE A MURAL FOR THE CITY OF LOMITA

Man One was selected by the city of Lomita, California to design a vibrant mural adorning Lomita Park. The artistic vision behind this mural sprung from the talented winners of the "COMMON CANVAS" 5th grade citywide mural competition. Among the exceptional submissions received, the winning pieces came from Manahil M. of Eshalmen School, Kayla O. of Lomita STEAM Magnet, and Miaah C. of Saint Margaret School. A round of applause to all the young participants for their creative contributions!

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:

It is definitely one of my highlights of the year so far.  Thanks to Estrella Jalisco and Thrillist for sponsoring this project and documenting it in such a great way.

STREET ART MURAL TOUR FOR FOCA MEMBERS

Yesterday I led another one of my street art mural tours in L.A. I had the pleasure of showing the murals and art of our wonderful city to a nice sized group from FOCA. We walked around the alley projects near Gabba Gallery and ended in the Arts District at the Container Yard. I love the excitement in people's eyes when they experience something they've never seen before!

If you're interested in booking a tour for your group, contact me: manone@manone.com

It was such a great time and experience to connect and re-connect with old friends and new ones.
