Artist Spotlight: Myke Sutherland

We love working with artists! Offering talented individuals an affordable way to show off their skills, and getting to see their projects freshly printed on to canvas makes us feel pretty cool. It makes us feel so cool that we're staring to feel greedy about it. So we thought we'd share some of their talent with you guys, starting with this awesome dude Myke Sutherland. Check out his work below plus a few words from the man himself!

Art work and words below By Myke Sutherland

When I get to illustrating, the hours seem to fly by. Before I know it, it's at 2am and I have to be up for work in a few hours! As an Animation Director at Oktobor Animation in Auckland, the Nickelodeon TV shows we work on require my full attention. Our projects include Penguins of Madagascar, Monsters v Aliens, Robot and Monster, and I'm currently wrapping my head around their Kung Fu Panda Season 3. Luckily it's the kind of work that feels more like play!

Work is not the only thing that gets me going, I spent my entire childhood with my mum shooing me off the dining room table so the family could eat - I just love to draw! Since leaving Disney in Australia about seven years ago, I've turned my animating into illustration, since then I've been making a nuisance of myself at Pixelpaint....

I'm addicted. There's really nothing better than the satisfaction of actually getting something printed and tangible on the wall. And yes, I've gone a little mad! I'm not even gonna count how many I've had printed. I'm kinda running out of wall space though. I think I need an intervention. 

Fortunately they've kinda taken off, seems I'm not the only one that reckons art doesn't all have to be darkness bizarre and macabre. Cute and fluffy has a market!

That's right babes, you can purchase one of Myke's rad illustrations for your very own! These make awesome gifts and the kids go crazy for them, you can check him out on his Facebook page here!
