To say that Mike Thompson is talented is quite the understatement. Although already well known for his vivid urban illustrations, Mike is NOT a one-trick pony. His uncanny ability to capture the likeness of his subjects is quite the talent. But his ability to capture the very essence and soul of his subject is startling. An outstanding gift that keeps you coming back again and again to view his paintings. I can and have highly recommended this amazing artist in the past. It is just a matter of time before the world knows this master by name.

I’ve worked with Mike on various projects throughout the years, and his attention to detail still astonishes me. It’s nice to work with an illustrator that gets genuinely excited about the projects he is working on. His amazing body of work is a testament to this, and his art definitely speaks for itself. I will say, however, that what I like the most about working with Mike is his easy-going personality, professionalism, and willingness to get the job done.

Mike is an incredible talent; I have hired him to work on numerous original illustrations, and each time I've worked with him, he stretches the boundaries of his creativity a little bit more. In addition to his creative talent, he is really detail-oriented, manages his time very well, and is a dream to collaborate with.
