Why Like Mike?

Why am I a trusted partner to some of the biggest high-end brands in the world? Why should you vote with your campaign dollars and make me part of your team? I make two very simple campaign promises (and I actually keep them!) to every client:

Campaign Promise Number One

I will listen to your creative direction and add value based on my more than 31 years and 90,000 hours of experience on the campaign trail. Our finished product will leave you saying “Mike made our campaign better.”

Campaign Promise Number Two

I will deliver visual solutions that support your campaign vision on time and on budget. And if you change course, I change course. Using digital airbrushing, drawing and photography, if you can dream it, I can deliver it.

We’re actually going to have fun working together.*
*Not a promise, just a fact.

I love working with Mike as he is always reliable (panic jobs are common with us) and makes my art directors happy, not to mention the clients. He always has great ideas to make any image pop out with his magical hands (wand). He never gets bored of anything we throw at him as it is always something new, exciting and challenging for him. He is fair priced and reasonable with his usage charges. I always look forward to working with Mike. It’s like he is the only illustrator in town.
