Clients from Glendale, Atwater Village, Eagle Rock and the Verdugo foothills make the trip for custom work in fine line, delicate, script, realism, traditional and neo-traditional styles.

Getting to Mantle from Glendale
Driving. Take the I-5 south or the Glendale Freeway (SR-2) to the 110 or the 101 into Downtown. Outside rush hour it's usually a 20-30 minute drive from central Glendale. Metered street parking is sometimes free out front. Several paid lots and garages within a block offer all-day parking from about $10.
Metrolink and Metro. From Glendale station, Metrolink reaches Union Station in about ten minutes. From there the B or D Line runs three stops to 7th Street/Metro Center, a few minutes' walk from the studio.
Timing tip. Midday and early-evening appointments avoid the worst of the I-5 and 2 traffic. Tell us when you can make it and we'll find a slot that works.
