Drawn To You: Ian O’Phelan

Ian O'Phelan, art, illustrator, Los Angeles, buffalo on plain

Every now and then, I'll investigate the random folks who start following me on Twitter. Generally, this involves staring at their profile photos and flirting with them in a very public manner. And while I'd be more than glad to flirt with him (among other things), that wasn't the case with Ian O'Phelan.

This Los Angeles artist first caught my eye with his excellent aesthetic. His subdued, often monochromatic color palette provides a sense of comfort for the viewer, even when his subjects are uncomfortably confronting us with a direct stare. Also, his pieces look fucking cool.

Our dear friends at DList notified us that he has a profile on there. He hasn't logged on for a while, but there is a really hot shirtless photo lingering around in his public pictures. We'd check in to see if he has a profile on Manhunt, but that might take our stalking investigative journalism a little too far.

  1. First thing that has struck out to me, why is DList asking ManhuntDaily bloggers about profiles and sharing information about accounts. Further, why is Manhunt sharing information with DList about profiles if they are. From the way this is written, it sounded like there was something more going on, with DList. But I am puzzled as to why they would ask the bloggers or why someone at Manhunt would share this information with a blogger.

  2. Martin, you chose the wrong post to grab attention on Dlist issue. Nobody will see this post, im regretting it myself.
    Btw is there such thing as bad art, or will the “artists” sneer at us that we just “dont get art”

  3. Well it sure does qualify as unable to understand where the artist is coming from or what they were taking when they painted.
    Not trying to grab attention just miffed to say the least when information being shared.

  4. Martin, before you start bitching you should get your facts straight. Manhunt bought Dlist a while back and they share an office. It wouldn’t be that random for DeWitt to mention this guy’s name out loud and one of their employees to say “oh i know that guy. He’s on Dlist”. If thats the case who cares if they’re sharing info???

  5. Heath, get your facts straight, that is not what was written on here. “..Our dear friends at DList notified us that he has a profile on there. He hasn’t logged on for a while…. We’d check in to see if he has a profile on Manhunt,…” It was presented as the opposite happening.
    Since you seem to know more about the office, actions of Dewitt “mention” name out loud you must work or know someone that works there. However, I must say the employees in office must know everyone then if they can remember each person profile.

  6. Thanks Heath, did see OLB ownes DList, and then looked at the TOS:
    “We limit access to personal information about you to our employees. Access is only allowed when necessary to provide products or services to you.”
    “Your personal information is never sold or distributed to any internal or external enterprise, business or individual.”

  7. I like that you are highlighting someone that just doesn’t draw naked guys and cocks. I enjoyed these.
