Hey there - welcome to Casual Dry Cleaning - I'm Michael, I'll be your host....

I'm a dad/nerd/illustrator/writer making stuff and living in Castle Rock, Colorado.

As a visual artist I'm trying to straddle a line between socially conscious work and absolute fanboy nerdom. I used to draw in pocket journals every day, but then I got my OCD under control, and I'm branching out in a healthier more productive way. You can see some of that work in the cleverly titled "Pocket Journals" section of this here website. Wild, right?

I'm working on some new projects right now that I'm excited to share soonish. I'd rather show than tell, so..... Keep your eyes peeled for new work. It's a lot like other stuff that is currently on this site, but, like, new and different with that new work fresh scent.

Currently, this website is a mishmash of work experimenting with combining words and images - some things are hand drawn, others are designed with purely digital elements, all of them are made by me. I'm definitely most interested in the tactile nature of making art - I want to create hand drawn elements as much as humanly possible - but there are definitely perks to working with digital tools.

I think my work is comics-adjacent. It ain't exactly comics - but I borrow a lot from the medium. And I read a lot of comics. Like... A LOT.

Anyways, thanks for visiting. Feel free to write me about my work. Updates to come. Yup. Cheers!

How is my driving?
