Mike graduated from the School of Visual Arts in '92 with a BFA in Cartooning/Illustration. Immediately thereafter he lost his marbles and joined the Army, serving with the 101st Airborne for four year before moving to Chicago and beginning his career as an artist, which he's been doing for the past twenty years. Having had enough of being a hired wrist, he's finally trying to become the master of his own fate, putting his education and experience with visual storytelling to work on his own "stuff," like Simon Brizdale here. He likes to think he's funny; his wife and daughter like to humor him (and roll their eyes). Now you can be the judge!
