LIVE PAINTING AT FUNKAPALOOZA

My art band UNIFICATION THEORY (myself, Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca, and Overton Loyd) painted LIVE on stage with headliners George Clinton and PFUNK at the FUNKAPALOOZA Concert at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, CA last Friday nite 3/23/12.





As usual we created live, spontaneous, mash up works of art with markers, spray cans, and inks. The pieces are created to the music as its being performed and its what moves us.






Then of course we gave away the pieces to lucky fans that were in attendance at the sold out show.






I never thought giving away the art during the concert would stir up such a crazy frenzy that literally had security holding people back from jumping on stage to get their hands on some art!

Sir Nose in the house!

Thanks to Overton and George Clinton for letting us do this again! 

Special shout out to the homie Baz for clicking away on my iPhone to get all these action pics!

Was a great nite of art and FUNK!

GRAFFITI SPIRIT OVER CITY HALL

Just finished this mural located on Olympic near Santa Fe in Downtown LA.
"Graffiti Spirit Over City Hall" by Man One © 2012

It's a statement on how graffiti artists have forced themselves into the City's dialogue
about what is public art and ending the mural moratorium.

The City can no longer be dismissive about our artform and it's positive impact
on community and youth culture.

My Graffiti Spirits speak to that.

Enjoy the video of the making below:

NEW PRINT: "ONE BLISS"

I'm proud to release my new print entittled:

“One Bliss”

I was asked to create an image that could be printed as a limited edition print to help raise money for the Breast Cancer Fund and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital the Lunafest whose mission is to celebrate and inspire women through the art of film and community fundraising,

"One Bliss"

18" x 24"

Printed by Two Rabbits Studios

on archival 100lb cover

(Limited Edition of 50)

Signed and numbered by me:

“One Bliss” was created by me to show the empowerment of women and their energy, aura and movement as well as health.  The image in the print shows a woman of strength stemming from a red lotus.  “The red lotus signifies the original nature and purity of the heart . It is the lotus of love, compassion, passion and all other qualities of the heart. It is the flower of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion.”- buddhanet.net. 

Thanks for those of you who already purchased at Artwalk!

The print is available through Crewest Gallery for $40 each.

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!)
