EK Interview: Mike Shankman

Written by Bunnyman |

Here’s what I know about Mike Shankman.  He’s a hard working dude.  He is patient.  He’s talented.  He loves painting deeply.  I’m not sure if there’s anything else I need to know.  Oh, and I do also know his paintings are a real treat in person!  He is currently solo-showing at the prolific 111 minna gallery, so check it out if you’re in the area!  You won’t be disappointed.

Where are you from and what do you do?

I grew up in Boulder, Colorado.  I  currently do many things; aside from being an Artist, I am a dad, a husband, and a working stiff.  My son, Nash, just turned 18 months old and my wife and I are gearing up for a new baby in November.  One thing I don’t do much anymore: sleep.
