Hey you! Yeah you! Are you a fan of my work? Have you made it your own personal mission to collect my exhibition postcards from my previous showcases? Yes? Perfect! Introducing the new Premium Postcard Packs! Each pack features 1 card from each of my 7 past showcases since 2019! This will be the ULTIMATE collector's item!  There will be 2 packs available: 1. The Standard Pack $20 - premium print, soft-touch cards, with 1 out of 7 cards guaranteed to have gold embellishments!  2. The Golden Pack $30 - for you luxury fiends who've acquired an insatiable taste for the gold foil cards I've been distributing at some of my shows; all 7 cards in this pack will be gold foil embellished.  "But Michael, why should I give you money for something we could get for free if we simply support you and come to your shows/exhibits? (No offense...)" NONE TAKEN! As mentioned before, each set will contain a postcard from each of the 7 shows, including the FRAGILITY Series that never got a postcard (much less a lovely gold variant). BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Each show will have 3 different design variants you have the possibility of getting in any given pack, so even if you have a postcard from a specific show already, these variants with be exclusive to these packs! And yes, they each have their own gold variant as well!  Oh, but the fun doesn't stop there! As added incentive, I have acquired SUPER ULTRA UBER RARE HOLOGRAPHIC VARIANTS for each available card and will be distributing those randomly via the STANDARD as well as GOLDEN packs. These holographic cards can also be acquired through true dedicated support! The first 21 people to collect all 21 gold variants will receive one of those oh so coveted Holographic variants to call their own as well as bragging rights to call themselves a true supporter and fan! Now enough blabbering from me, go grab a pack for yourself from my website (link in bio) and join in on the fun!

If you haven't been following along, I recently wrapped up my latest solo exhibition at the Cambridge City Hall Annex titled "Conversations With Time". To say the least, my heart is full... So I'll leave you with this recap video of the closing reception and artist talk. Big shout out to @camayahvisuals for doing a stellar job capturing the essence of it all, and again to @cambridgearts for the opportunity and support. If you're wondering "what's next Michael?" Well, watch the video and you'll find out 😉

Not your typical art show. The SAF Art Salon is built to feel different. No white walls, no pressure, no gatekeeping. Just a warm space, a drink in hand, and real conversations with local artists about their work. Come by with a date, a friend, or on your own. Spend the night exploring original art that’s actually within reach and meeting the people behind it. Tag someone you’d bring! 👇 #datenightideas #nightoutideas #somerville #bostonevents #bowmarket

Whether you were able to make the opening last Thursday or have still yet to check it out, the gallery hours for ATLAS: The Art of Storytelling currently on display at @blkchipgallery have finally been posted! I'll be hanging out at the gallery on: Tuesdays: 12pm-5pm Thursdays: 12pm-5pm Saturdays: 2pm-5pm The show will be up throughout the end of June so I highly recommend coming back for a one-on-one walkthrough of the space to truly get a sense of the full story behind what I've been up to since 2017 (and even earlier yet!). In addition to the listed gallery hours, mark your calendars for Friday May 22nd at 6pm for an "EXTRA SPECIAL" Artist Talk featuring a mysterious (maybe even "Sinister") guest moderator! This is one you won't want to miss. This show was composed during my residency at Street Theory Collective ( @streettheorycollective ), and I'm eager and excited that I finally get to share it with you all!

Hey everyone! You may have seen me share about this in my stories recently - this Saturday is the opening reception for "We Create Diamonds", the first show I've taken a curatorial position in! There's a ton of amazing work in the show spanning 40 ARTISTS (crazy, I know), and I feel that this theme comes at a timely moment.  Swing by the Nave Gallery this Saturday, March 21st from 6pm - 8pm for the opening reception, and stay tuned for more information on workshop dates, a fundraiser concert, as well as the closing reception in April! A big thank you to the @somervilleartscouncil For the opportunity as well as @masscultural for the grant that landed me here!

🎨 Applications for the Somerville Art Fair are officially OPEN! One application. Three events. Selected artists will have the opportunity to participate in an Art Salon, an Auction, and the Holiday Art Fair SAF is about more than exhibiting — it’s about building community, connecting with collectors, and growing your presence in the Somerville + Greater Boston art scene. And it’s about keeping art within reach, so your art ends up in people’s homes. If you’re ready to share your work in a vibrant, welcoming space, we want to see it. 🗓 Apply by April 15th 🔗 Link in bio Tag an artist who should apply 👇

During this season of Thanksgiving I wanted to take the moment to recap the opening of my latest/current gallery exhibit, "Conversations With Time" at Cambridge Arts @cambridgearts I wouldn't say that this was my most ambitious show by any means, but it was indeed my most extensive and most expansive show spanning not just my paintings but also mural work and installation elements. THIS has been the show I've been wanting to have since my first exhibit back in 2019 when my nemesis @djsinista1 called me out on Twitter to have an art exhibition showdown... So even though I've had over 10 showcases at this point, this is starting the counter back at 1. Thank you to everyone who supported me, who showed up for the opening, or who lurk online and silently cheer for me from behind a screen 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 and a few special mentions below: - To @cambridgearts again for the opportunity to transform the space and have my vision and dream be brought to life. - To the one and only @mada.silva.here for not only providing the lovely live music accompaniment for the poetry segment of the show, but for creating one of my now most cherished pieces of music inspired by my graphic novel - To all the poets who got a chance to perform @notebook.p @masoneve @sepforoutanart @tonibeewrites @mcmischief.studio @connflique and to others who signed up but weren't able to make it - To the amazing @jayvisionaryy_ who captured the evening through magical lenses (photos in this post courtesy of her), as well as my other photography and videography friends who selflessly volunteer their services... You are all greatly appreciated (and you make it extremely hard for me to choose what photos to post and share lol That's it for now, but this is definitely not the last Time you'll be hearing from me about this show before the closing in January so stay tuned!
