Greg Mike was born and raised in Connecticut. Childhood trips to New York City exposed him to the creative potential of reinventing public spaces through art and design. He was also always obsessed with the boundless energy and crisp line work of iconic American mid-century cartoons. By his early teens, Greg began using the walls on the streets to fuse these two passions together. Further inspired by his deep involvement with skate culture and his intersections with the design world, he has become known for pieces that incorporate vivid explosions of incandescent color filtered through a Surrealist Pop Art perspective.
“I’ve always let my characters do the talking for me. They capture what I’m feeling in a way words can’t. It’s a nod to those childhood memories, that feeling of freedom before life gets real. Growing up has its stresses, and I remember that carefree place of zero responsibilities. With everything going on in the world, art has been my way of processing it all. It’s therapy.” / Greg Mike
