Mike has been an illustrator most of his life. He completed his first book when he was seven, a stapled mass of dot-matrix printer paper filled with leaping dinosaurs. He once drew the entire Sunday Funnies during class, but none of the jokes were funny. In fact, his teacher found them to be quite rude and his parents were asked to pay a visit. Since then, Mike has gone on to make all kinds of art, like illustrations for childrens publishing, magazine editorials, paintings of landscapes, seascapes, other escapes, background art in the video game industry, and quite possibly a portrait of your cat.

When not painting or sketching, he can be found in his favorite bookstore, rockclimbing with his wife, Alex, or slapping together a mean PB&J sandwich. He can also not be found - as his crime fighting alter ego can sometimes demand an incognito lifestyle. His jokes continue to not be funny.
