About The Hosts
Creator of Not Real Art
As a creative professional, I know first hand the magic my colleagues do everyday — often with less notoriety or compensation than they deserve. I created NOT REAL ART to help artists share their stories and promote their work.
Contemporary Artist
An artist, curator, multi-award winning illustrator, mentor and entrepreneur, Man One believes in the transformational power of art and its power to save lives and make the world a better place. He brings his unique perspective and wisdom to NOT REAL ART — that's when he's not working all night on another masterpiece!
Artist
Erin Yoshi is a true polymath. She is one of the few artists in the world with an MBA. Her business acumen coupled with her artistic prowess makes her a fantastic host.
