From Elementary through Junior high school, Michael would draw comic book characters. In Senior high school, Michael was introduced to the art of Salvadore Dali, it was then that he decided to become a fine arts painter. Michael's main interest as a painter is in surrealism. Michael has won several awards including a mention in The Artist's Magazine, a national magazine.</div> <bR> <div> Michael's interest in the arts does not stop at painting, he is also a self-taught musician who played in bands and wrote and performed his own songs. Michael has gone back to his comic book roots, by publishing his own comic book (which you can get a look at <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#313698" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://home.onestop.net/triangle" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://home.onestop.net/triangle"><B>here</B></A></FONT>) and has plans to publish a comic book on CD rom which will include some 3D animation, which he plans to do himself.</div> <bR> <div> <B>ARTIST STATEMENT</B></div> <div> As an artist, my interests are varied. I started out drawing comics then went to painting, to music, to computer graphics and web site design and now I'm adding 3D computer animation to the list. People say I should pick one thing and concentrate on that. I kind of agree, but I love doing all the things that I do, so which one do I pick. My interest in comic books and painting are sort of related, in that they both are surrealistic. Comic books by their very nature are surreal, with their super heroes and other world content and my paintings due to their surrealistic subject matter.</div> <bR> <div> Maybe one day I'll pick one of my talents to concentrate on, but until then I'll just keep doing the things I love doing.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Samples:</B></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="148fe3c80.jpg" border=0 width="227" height="200" ALT="Michael Bridges" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="1491b3c80.jpg" border=0 width="179" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="149395c80.jpg" border=0 width="149" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1495fbc80.jpg" border=0 width="251" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   <IMG SRC="1497a3c80.jpg" border=0 width="163" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="1499f9c80.jpg" border=0 width="249" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="149ba3c80.jpg" border=0 width="163" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="149df4c80.jpg" border=0 width="244" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="14a1cdc80.jpg" border=0 width="205" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="14a391c80.jpg" border=0 width="145" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="14a5bec80.jpg" border=0 width="190" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  <IMG SRC="1ae60ec80.jpg" border=0 width="270" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1ae847fb0.jpg" border=0 width="327" height="251" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Artwork above is owned by its creator and protected under Copyright</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="index.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="American Spirit Studios Global Online Co">American Spirit Studios Global Online Community for Artists!</A>   |   <A HREF="id367.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Original Art For Sale">Original Art For Sale</A>   |   <A HREF="id21.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Artist Studios">Artist Studios</A>   |   <A HREF="id287.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Approved Banners Links">Approved Banners & Links</A>   |   <A HREF="id302.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Community Mailing List">Community Mailing List</A>   |   <A HREF="id47.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Me Request">Contact Me Request</A>   |   <A HREF="id58.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Us">Contact Us</A></div> <bR> <div> © 1999 - 2006 American Spirit Studios.com, All Rights Reserved</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
