Handmade Portraits: 1AEON

Story by 1AEON, brepettis, weirdwolf
Published on September 4, 2008 in This Handmade Life 		Photo by 1AEON

This article was originally published on May 13, 2008. We are reviving it as part of the Best of the Storque series. Enjoy!

Gabe Molnar of 1AEON says his designs often come from his dreams. The fantastical imagery includes lions, dragons, skulls and owls ("since before all the owl hype," as Gabe says). Working non-stop in his small kitchen in Brooklyn, this Hungarian-born artist is driven to be the best at whatever he does and to push the boundaries (maybe this comes in part from growing up under Communism?). But his passion and ambition hasn't made Gabe lose sight of his humble beginnings. We were very inspired to meet the maker behind 1AEON and hear his story.

Thank you for making it happen, because ultimately you all helped. Without you it wouldn't be Etsy, and without Etsy would be 1Aeon portrait:)
thank you,

I loved this store even before I saw this video...and now I love it even more!! Congrats on the success guy, your store is seriously amazing and I really admire your attitude and effort! I can't believe you actually work out of that kitchen...my impression from just seeing the store was that it was really set up, I guess that's a good thing!

Awesome work!
