Bio:

Mike Martinet is a lifetime resident of the southwest - California, Arizona and Nevada.

Mike's primary mediums are water-based paints and vector art graphics.

Currently employed as a web developer, Mike lives in Irvine, California.

Statement:

"Most of my paintings and vector art pieces start as ballpoint and marker sketches. I fill pages of sketchbooks with tightly-clustered, random shapes connected together in an automatic-drawing style. They are often a combination of mechanical and biological elements - a channeled convergence of people and machines that I call 'robot expressionism'.

"My work is influenced by Hot Rod Cartoons, Mad Magazine, Zap Comix, Patrick Nagel, Peter Max and Keith Haring.

"My intention is to create dynamic designs that are thought-provoking and humorous."
