Mike likes painting funny things. And as an artist, he doesn’t think funny has to be separate from beautiful. A lot of his art takes on concepts that can be paradoxical when combined: funny, cute, gross, weird, and beautiful.

His
paintings reflect his obsessions: dinosaurs, stripes, mythology, geek
culture, and gross-out humor. He enjoys the reactions people have to his
paintings. He has been compared to everyone from Dali to Tim Burton. He
says that seeing what other people think of his paintings is as much
fun as making the paintings themselves.
