My NEW interview is up!


I did an art interview with Rasmus Rasmuson on his website "Another Passion" and here's the link for you to read the whole thing... actually it's not very long so... no pain.
Check it out and let me know what you think....

INTRO...

"Originally from Michigan, Mike Cressy worked, first in animation and later as an illustrator in Los Angeles before coming up north to Seattle. He has a knack for characters and strange creatures, has illustrated several children’s books and created artwork for numerous games, covers and logos. When I met Mike, his demeanor struck me both as that of a big, playful kid and a wise, experienced artist. He laughs a lot and uses his hands when he talks, which is something that comes easily to Mike.
I asked him about his work and personal projects, from his book of abstracts to the graphic novel he’s been working on. He answered with insight and enthusiasm."


Cheers,
Mike

Introducing the Vowels...A,E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y



I had set this one aside for a few months while I worked on other stuff and thought I'd finish it off before starting another painting. Hope you dig it. Personally I'm liking the monotone version.

New post July 4th Abstracts...






Sorry it's been a while since the last post. Summer finally arrived in the pacific northwest and I had to take advantage of it. I'll post more in the next few days, but in the meantime, enjoy these NEW Abstracts!

3rd of July 2010






These are photos from the 3rd of July 2010. I took these on the 3rd because the forecast was for rain on the 4th and sure enough the 4th was a total rain out, but the 3rd was beautiful.
We've had a terribly cold and dark summer in the Seattle area. Summer is more than half way over and we haven't had more that a week of sun. I'm hoping the rest of summer comes through for us. If I can fly down to the sun all winter maybe it will be ok!
Sucky summer!!!

See you next post!

See you next post and I hope you had a great 4th of July!!
