Hi, I'm Mike.

I'm a tattoo artist and fantasy illustrator based in Lincoln, California. For most of my career I've painted worlds for games. I've illustrated more than a hundred Magic: The Gathering cards, including Sol Ring, Stoneforge Mystic, and Drana, Liberator of Malakir, across sets like Zendikar and Innistrad: Midnight Hunt.

My first break came in 2008 with Massive Black. Since then I've freelanced concept art and illustration for studios like Ubisoft, Bethesda, and Riot Games, on titles including Fallout: New Vegas, God of War, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, and League of Legends.

Tattooing is where that same drawing practice becomes permanent. I bring the composition, lighting, and storytelling from card art into custom pieces designed for one person and one placement. My private studio at Kallos Salon Suites is by appointment, so every session is one-on-one.

When I'm not tattooing, you'll find me at Magic conventions signing cards, selling artist proofs, and painting alters.
