 Mike Bell's art blends an aura of nostalgia and humor, combined with vivid color and a combination of influences.  Japanese cartoons, classic monsters, vintage toys, punk rock, carnivalesque images, MAD magazine and Big Daddy Roth are among the cultural forces that have shaped his art.  The juxtaposition of counter culture imagery with modern day influences are the blueprint for Mike's canvases.

A true lowbrow painter, Mike paints illusionistic as well as cartoony, sometimes with a hazy distinction.  The outcome is a world where the weird is wonderful and the inhuman is alive.
