                <description><![CDATA[ After suffering from what I thought were allergies, I went to the doctor this past Tuesday.  Turn's out I had inflammation in my nose, lungs and throat.  Anyway, I got some meds and should be back to normal in a few days, but I'm still hard at work with my many projects and will post new stuff on here when it becomes ready.  Thanks to all of you for your continued support and God Bless!<br />Mike<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I took a week off and visited an old friend in Puerto Rico and just got back friday night.  While there, I did come up with the Metrotitan sketch I posted and shared with all of you.  I'm working on pages 4 and 5 of Oblivion and really having fun with it.  Hopefully all of you will too.  This story is for you guys, the Transformers fans as well as my fans (do I have any?) LOL.  Liam, Ian and Matt will be contributing with color and I have a special guest colorist in store as well. If anybody wants to lend a hand with color or lettering let me know.  There will be a lot of Oblivion to go around if anybody wants to contribute.  Everyone have a great week and stay positive and I'll continue with the updates.<br />Mike<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Okay, it's been a real long time since I posted some new artwork (aside from a few Mosaics) So this weekend is it.  I just bought a new drawing desk, table and pens from Michael's Arts and Crafts so no more waiting.  The first of many will be Oblivion pages 1&2 (page 1 this weekend).  I've also got a piece featuring <a href="http://gdemone.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/g/d/gdemone.jpg?9" alt=":icongdemone:" title="gdemone"/></a> which will actually be 2 or three (black and white, color and Circuit Breaker version).  I apologize to all of you for the long delay.  Hope all of you are doing well and keep checking up on me!<br />Mike<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ An artist.  Within the next few weeks I will be adding more figure drawing to my artwork.  I've been swamped with Transformers Mosaics stories, but have only one left to do.  After it's done, I'm done with those for awhile.  After sketching some females I discovered how much I miss it (and using more curves in general) and am going to go back to doing just that.  Luckily I have a few issues of Maxim I can use for reference and my friend agreed to pose for me whenever I need to draw from real life, and trust me, she will be a delight to capture on paper.  I know some of you 'guys will appreciate it!  I was also thinking of going back to painting and getting some pieces put up here on Deviant.  I haven't painted since 2001 and I think it's time for a return to color.  I promise to have at least one painting on here before the year is up. I've got paint, bought new brushes and 3 canvases, so the time is finally right.  Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as the rest of my work.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I recently just started taking some commission work and would like to extend that offer here at Deviant Art.  I posted a flyer in my apartment complex and listed my artwork here and have been getting requests for tattoo designs/illustrations, so I figured I'd extend that offer to anyone interested here.  For now I will only work in black and white on 8x11 paper. Here are the rates:<br />BnW-no background-$25<br />BnW-background-$40<br /><br />Prices also negotiable. I'm not gonna charge $25 for something like a butterfly or flower (you get the idea).  Artwork can be whatever you want it to be, except copyrighted images (unless for a gift or private use).  <br /><br />I would like to thank everyone that's visited this page and seen my work.  I still have alot of 'unreleased' stuff in storage that will be up soon!<br /><br />Mike<br /><br /> ]]></description>
