Michael has been working as a Boston-based Freelance Artist for the past 5 years and when he isn’t teaching animation at his alma mater, Lesley University, he works as a children’s book illustrator, graphic novelist, and immerses himself in the comic book world to further his passion and knowledge in sequential arts.
