ANNOUNCEMENT, Feb 08 2007:
Hi everybody! I've just signed the contract to a new full-time job, and as a result I'm no longer taking on freelance work in the areas of toy design or entertainment. Thanks to everybody who supported me and my painting habit over the years, especially to everybody at LEGO. I could not imagine a more fun company to work for than the LEGO guys, and if anybody gets the chance to work for them I recommend you jump at it.

In the meantime it means that I can no longer pretend that this site is for anything other than personal vanity, which was always the case but I could at least tell people it was justified as some kind of professional self-promotion. So I'll still be adding artwork from time to time in order to keep my own ego properly inflated.

- Mike.

A friend of mine asked if I ever do any paintings without all the saturated colors - working for LEGO has given me some bad habits. So I took some time last night to paint out a quick scene from the Cats and Lizards project; check out the lizard on patrol.
