Mike Boston's love of things that are bizarre and whimsical inspire him to create moody entities in relatable color worlds. His love for classic and contemporary surrealism, science fiction and mythology fuel his artistic vision. On the surface you'll find his favorite subjects are creepy creatures, large, unusual animals, outer space and the ocean's depths. Dig deeper and you can find cerebral turmoil driven towards self improvement.
Mike was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in Wells, Maine. He earned a Bachelor's Degree in Illustration from Lesley University's Art Institute of Boston. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
