After almost 20 years of stopmotion, fabrication, and sculpting Mike now has a presence in galleries, online, and in his Etsy store. Mike had a conversation with a longtime friend who is having great success in galleries and on Etsy. They suggested Mike take his industry skills and go for it on his own. Hes glad he did! So far its been a stressful blast. It took a while to get it all in order and now the pieces are finally falling into place. Mike Hopes all that visit the store get a sense of who he is and what he enjoys to create. He gets a real kick out of sharing this experience with all of you. Look out this year for some new one of a kind gadget’s and gizmos!
