Hi I’m Barak

I LIKE MAKING THINGS AND TALKING ABOUT MAKING THINGS.

As a proud resident of Historic Filipinotown in LA for the last 17 years, I’ve been creating with whatever I can get my hands on as an actor, comedian, muralist and fine artist.

As an actor I’ve been worming my way into your subconscious in a million commercials, some killer indie horror films and pop ups in some of your favorite tv comedies. I spent a decade touring with Isaac Improv, and later performing at Upright Citizen Brigade’s house sketch team New Money. I’m also a writer, filmmaker and host.

As an artist I’m full of wanderlust for every kind of creative adventure, whether its creating giant murals, miniature landscapes, polymer clay sculptures or illustrations. I’m fortunate enough to have my art hanging in hundreds of homes, in recent gallery shows at Gallery 1988 and Hive Gallery and on walls throughout Los Angeles and beyond.

Thanks for letting me share my work with you. I’m always making something new, so sign up for my newsletter to keep up to date.
