/Featured Artist: Mike Oncley/ Seattle Pt.2

As I prepare for my trip to Seattle, I thought it was only appropriate to showcase one of its local celebrities. With over 4,000 hits, and growing, on his YouTube channel for his rendition of Deadpool and a booming Esty shop showcasing  his hysterical doodles called Stupid Little Squares, life couldn't be better for Mike Oncley.  The innovative artist from Seattle, who is originally from Long Beach, California, has always had an eye for the unexpected. When asked what kind of art he likes to create he replied, "The art I create mainly revolves around pop culture, consisting of portraits of musicians, actors, and writers."

 Back in 2012, he received over 50,000 hits on YouTube for his poster of "Macklemore Made of Money". It's truly mind-blowing to witness how he creates these pieces!

Mike has grown as an artist over the years, with his style varying from digital minimalist posters, to stenciled spray-paintings, to mixed media portraits using materials ranging from wine corks to coffee beans, cigarettes and even broken glass.

 Hard at work...Mike used bullets to create his Deadpool inspired poster

When I approached Mike with the idea of writing a feature on him, he was more than helpful, offering up everything and anything I needed. This is just a glimpse into the generous, and kind heart he has. He even offered to draw me one of his famous doodles for the blog!

It's perfect!

My mouth dropped when he sent this over to me!
I am speechless (which isn't a good thing for a blogger ) on how perfectly he encapsulated my life in this drawing.
