Munk One

MUNK ONE is a contemporary American Illustrator and Fine artist well known for creating artwork for many major label bands. He is also known for working with world renowned brands, recognized for their artwork and creativity. Munk’s fine art has also gained much attention through many galleries both domestic and international.

His style can seem very dark and serious at first glance, filled with undertones of politics, religion, personal experiences and emotions. Alternately much of his work can also be bright, beautiful, fun and positive. These elements seem to coexist and mix throughout much of his work. Proficient in both traditional and computer media, he is comfortable using whatever methods his projects call for.

After many successful years of working full time in the apparel and merchandise industries as an employee, much of his knowledge and technical expertise has been gained from hands on experience. In 2006 he decided to focus on creating his own brand of art while launching his website www.MUNKONE.com as the vehicle to share his creativity with the world.

During the 2008 election Munk One created a striking portrait of the then Presidential candidate Barack Obama. It was seen at bus stops all over the state of important preliminary state Pennsylvania and was also used for stickers, T-shirts and limited edition signed and numbered posters. He also created a second very popular design entitled “YES WE CAN” for a limited edition sticker run available through his website with proceeds going directly to the Obama election campaign.
