Michael is a self-taught, London-based artist otherwise working fulltime in TV & film production.

His interest in drawing started as a youth, copying elaborate pen and ink illustrations from graphic novels. These origins of bold, bright and striking styles admired in artists such as Frank Miller & Yoji Shinkawa continue to influence his painting today.

He combines an inclination toward technical detail with an undercurrent of more fluid, traditional techniques. Using thick, viscous acrylic paint overlaid with fine, vibrant inks, he produces richly textured pieces with a light metallic finish.  Subjects range from portraits, creatures & architecture to images inspired by elements of pop culture. Sometimes spiced with his slightly odd dark humour, but always focused on creating punchy, original and dynamic artwork.
