I hired him for a job and he did a great job for me. I recommend them to all businesses. -Abu Tabbaa Citgo Gas
I recently had him do a 70’s Frankenstein for me. Looks fantastic. Always loved the 70’s horror films. He did an exceptional job with The Ghoul and Sir Graves. I highly recommend. -Michael Bradley Wayne County MI Sheriffs Department
I like the concepts of pop art and surrealism. Roy Lichtenstein…and of course Dali have influenced my own artistic endeavors. From the photos I see your work can get quite dark…content not coloring. It Is the darkness inside me being unnerved by the imagery. Your art immediately spurred an emotional reaction. -Joshua Sears Artist
Michael Markham is a surrealist pop artist based in Detroit, known for remixing cultural icons and personal symbols into dreamlike scenes of chaos and beauty. His one-of-a-kind works explore the grotesque and the iconic, often with a sharp eye toward retro nostalgia and human emotion. Markham’s creations have appeared in national publications and private collections around the world, with influences ranging from Dalí and Geiger to Atari cartridges and 1970s horror. He doesn’t paint to match your furniture — he paints to challenge what you see.
