There have been several friends of ours that have commented on our artwork - primarily our posters, and supplement artwork for our catalog. Art Director and partner at One Way or Another Productions, Jenny Menzel ("J. Lynn") is the brain and talent behind each of the posters in the One Way catalog. Sometimes working off of a main image idea, or other times working from a completely abstract idea, she chooses to be open to the personalities of not only each director she works with, but also to the film's themselves - sometimes even electing to watch and study the film before beginning the artwork design for the poster (as recently was the case with Carter).
A true artist, J. Lynn expresses the unique combination of free-hand and graphic illustrations. As a Midwest native, J. Lynn first displayed her talent in fine arts at an elementary age. With practice, she became an established graphite portrait and realistic artist by age 17. After moving to California, she decided to further her artistic experience; as a result in 2005 she graduated with honors from PlattCollege with an Associate's Degree in Graphic Design. J. Lynn's first circulated artwork publication came in 2006 with a CD cover for West Coast rappers Mitchy Slick and Messy Marv's collaborated album, "Messy Slick". While living in Florida, J. Lynn decided to quit her formal job lifestyle in 2007 to fully pursue her dream with a career in art.
Outside of One Way or Another Productions, J. Lynn collaborates with her own clients. From recording artists in need of a design for their album covers, to start up and established businesses looking for a design for their official company logos, she does it for the love of art - often hand drawing many of the illustrations. She recently incorporated ArtThentic LLC as a means to conduct business as a freelance artist. ArtThentic's concept is to provide all clients with authentic artwork that has never been developed from a predesigned template or duplicated for anyone else. Her motto is "real art for real people."
