Local Artist Mandark Featured at Santa Monica Place

Come check out a recent installment of our collaboration with The Nation of Artists... 

Konichiwa! 

My name is Mandark the Keki Kid and I'm glad to know you're interested enough in me to read my bio. One thing you may already know about me is that I have an obsession and love for Cupcakes and sweets, or that I am an artist ^_^. 

To explain myself the best I would say that I am a child who can't escape my imagination. I've spent my childhood, teen years, and now my adult life, creating and living in my crazy world of sweets, colors, action, adventure and fun. Anything you see me paint is just a quick picture of what I experience in my head. Think of it as you getting to have the photograph of the world I live in. 

The world I've created has been inspired by (and molded from) my love of 1990s cartoons and Japanese pop culture, I love Japanese culture! 

I paint what I love and thought it would be cool to share my "Imagination Photographs" with people who might love to be “there” also. My main goal is to travel to different states and countries to share and spread my imagination. I'm not looking for fame, I'm just looking to do what I love and support myself and my family in the process. 

Thank you for stopping to read my bio, I appreciate it to the fullest. I hope you enjoy every sweet morsel of my art and walk away with some type of memory of what you have seen. – HAVE A SWEET DAY!
