He is known to many as “The facepainterman” at our Cannery Row booth, birthday parties and at the Monterey County Fair as well as the rest of Smiley Orca’s events. We truly would not have accomplished as much with out him.
Michael is a wonderful Artist, Husband, Father, and Friend. He calls himself “the Machine” when it comes to painting. He won his first awards in face painting in 2007 for his full face tiger and over the eye butterfly from the Face and Body Art International Convention contests held in Orlando, FL. |
