Welcome!!!

Welcome to my new blog!!! First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Michael Lang (most people just know me as Mike). I have been an artist as long as I can remember and have enjoyed  knowing who I was and what I was made for since I was around 6 years old. I will never forget the first time I was asked to draw in Kindergarden and I drew a dog. I thought it was really good but then again, everyone else in the class thought their drawing was good to. However, something happened that day that changed me and forever set my course of who I was to become in life. My teacher Mrs. Duncan went on and on about how good my drawing was and I remember thinking how good it made me feel to receive compliments for something I had done. After that, I was hooked and I set about to be the best artist I could be by drawing all the time.

I was born with a heart problem which kinda hindered what I could do as a kid. I could play with my friends but it became increasingly more and more difficult to keep up with them as we got older. For that reason, while others would be out playing I spent many hours inside drawing just to pass the time. I believe that everybody has a gift and God gave me the gift of art.

I have been a professional artist/graphic designer/illustrator for 28 years now and I am more excited about art now than I have ever been. I love doing all kinds of art and you will see form my post that I have done a little bit of everything as long as it artistically challenges me.

I hope with this blog I can share my work and passion for art to the world so that you may become in love with art as well.

P.S.
I am a working artist. If I don't work, I don't eat!
If you see something you like or if you want to commission me to do a piece for you just give me a call.

Blessings,
Mike
