Like a ghost playing the saxophone, this is where imagination comes to play. Ready for an adventure in art & design? Splendid! FINE ART Painting for over two decades, much of Michael’s work involves coming to terms with the abundance of technology-driven information overload we casually experience in modern-day society. He uses acrylics and india ink on canvas (or wood panels) to create a post-modern world that visually represents data in its raw form, existing within multiple theoretical dimensions of spacetime. Distorted handwritten notes and encrypted keyword ciphers are interwoven throughout mysterious structures and various abstractions including comic illustrations and other non-specific futuristic forms. The result is a data landscape of today’s anxious subconscious mind, presenting how we remember life events and interpret the world around us. ADVERTISING & DESIGN At the age of fifteen, Michael began his professional career by drawing children’s menus for a chain of restaurants in the Southwest. His experience in graphics, marketing, illustration, and video production fills an essential need in advertising agencies, printing companies, and design firms.
