Pen and Ink

Inspired by his love of comic books, Michael has been working with pen and inks from a young age. In 2015 after a trip to Salem, he became inspired to pick up the pen and inks again and drew “The Salem Witch.” From 2015-2018 Michael created a number of pieces and evolved along the way to include watercolor. Though currently Michael works primarily with acrylics on upholstery fabric, he often takes on pen and ink home portrait commissions.
