While most artists claim to have been drawing since they came out of the womb, Michael didn’t pick up a pencil until he was in middle school. Since then he’s drawn mostly independent comics and character designs. He was employed as a caricature artist for the company Big Time Design for four years, and has drawn illustrations and comics for the school paper for two semesters. Although Michael enjoys working with Photoshop and Illustrator for many projects, he is also attracted to child-like and hands-on designs that do not look overly computer-generated.
