Michael graduated with a BA (Hons) in illustration from the University of Brighton. He works freelance in a wide field of commissioned artwork including publishing, advertising, editorial, packaging, toy design, t-shirt stamps, animation, web and TV.

He also writes and illustrates his own children’s books.

His technique is an evolving process of experimentation with different materials and crossing over digital and traditional means.

Arcturos, a Wildlife and Natural Environment Non Profit Organisation played a key role in the course of his work, giving him the opportunity to create and develop a few lovable animal characters like Patou Bear and Zikos the wolf, both of which held leading roles in his first written children’s books.

Michael is currently based in Athens, Greece.
