A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Mann began drawing and painting at an early age. His first passion was custom cars and his first job was as an automobile painter. After High School, he left Kansas City and settled in California where he became interested in motorcycles. He became immersed in biker culture and motorcycles supplanted cars and pin-up girls in his artwork. In 1963, Mann brought some of his artwork to the Kansas City Custom Car Show and by 1973 his works were regularly appearing in EasyRider Magazine. His close relationship with EasyRider Magazine continued up until his failing health caused him to retire. A True Legend, David Mann Art is a collector's dream!
