Michael is a versatile artist who can do it all, from fine-line to traditional to realism, cartoons, watercolor, you name it.

As the legend goes, he was … born into darkness and raised in the violent underground Bulgarian tattoo pits. Though only a boy of thirteen, he rose through the ranks to become the fiercest tattooer in the tattoo hive. After defeating all who dared challenge him, he grew bored. While lounging in his doldrums one day, he suddenly heard the sirens call on a light sea breeze and set his sights on escaping the pits. A daring escape plan was hatched and executed flawlessly. At only three and twenty years of age, Michael was finally free to roam the seven seas, tattooing skulls and eagles on whales and Kraken. After years of seafaring took its toll on his body, it was time to step foot on dry land again. Two weeks later, his ship, the Bold Liner, made port in the Americas. For years he toiled in the badlands of Orange County California, and wrangled tornadoes in Oklahoma before forging his legacy in the frozen bosom of the Rockies.​
