 “Hello, I'm Mikey. I enjoy friends, photography, bicycles, painting, illustration, and all things crunchy.”

And now you’ve all been introduced to a dear friend of mine, Mikey Jackson! In addition to being one of the kindest people, and the absolute king of witty puns, he is also a talented artist and local favorite here in downtown Phoenix. Recently he has been not only making art for people to enjoy in their personal spaces but has been contributing to community endeavors such as the Phoenix Beautification Project (http://www.keepphxbeautiful.org/aboutus/) and the Phoenix Film Festival (http://www.phoenixfilmfestival.com/).  

When I decided to profile a local artist for this latest blog, my borderline obsession with his work made him my obvious first choice. Luckily he was awesome enough to answer some questions about his own art and also share his thoughts on the downtown art scene. You can check him out at http://www.hellomikey.net/.   

Viva Phoenix!
