ALTLife drawing is where I always return.
This piece of Jane captures not only the form but also the rhythm and energy of being present in the life room.
Three years in art school’s life room taught me to look, to notice the subtle shift of weight or gesture—and that practice continues to shape how I draw today.

It’s the last day to secure your copy of my new, 200 page figure art book, Life Studied Vol. 2!
We’ve unlocked 3 stretchgoals, including the Cheat Codes bookmark and a Backer ONLY episode of Life Studied’s sister podcast.
Those freebie stretchgoals are NOT available after the Kickstarter. So don’t miss out!
We’re also very close to unlocking a 4th stretchgoal where physical book orders get a free sticker!

You’re running out of time to get my new artbook, Life Studied Vol.2!
The project is officially funded, so we’re definitely making it. However I’d like to raise as much as possible so we can expand the print run and keep this volume around a little longer than the first.
I hope you’ll join us again and secure yourself a copy. The work for this new book is, in my opinion, even better than the first.
Join us here and maybe even pick up a piece of original art with your artbook.
Best, Mike
PS - We’re really close to the next 2 stretchgoals, which I think we can hit (with you help!)
