Everything Mike does as an artist traces back to drawing. Painting and tattooing evolve from his sketchbook doodles. As a painter Mike’s work focuses on many traditional subject matter such as landscapes and portraits configured into unusual compositions. Crashing seemingly mundane scenes and subjects together to create something broader and more interesting. Along with traditional painting techniques Mike combines illustrative elements in the composition style of field guides or tattoo flash sheets.

His tattoo work moves further in the direction of more refined, cleaner illustrative tattoos. Birds, bugs and flowers in cycles of life and decay. Mike captures motion and drama in his designs and focuses on making tattoos that flow with peoples bodies.
