apparitions & consequences / digital illustrations
I’ve been working in digital illustration since 2019. Namely, I started with a Samsung TabA Tablet and the Adonit Dash 3 stylus. Now I’m working with an iPad along with the Apple Pencil, utilizing programs such as Autodesk Sketchbook and ArtFlow. (I have to admit the undo button is something that, after working in traditional mediums for over two decades, is unbelievably useful.) The following is from the Digital Illustration Series “Apparitions” (2019-2021). Enjoy!

Michael’s work continues the visual analogy of civilization coping with Moore’s Law through the lens of the subconscious. Distorted handwritten notes and encrypted keyword ciphers are interwoven throughout mysterious structures and various abstractions, including comic illustrations and other non-specific futuristic forms.
The result is a data landscape of today’s anxious subconscious mind, presenting how we remember life events and interpret the kinetic surfaces and essences of the environment and emotions that we are sometimes reluctantly embedded within. And they look great on your wall.
