Mike Kloepfer (mikeyzart)
Hi! My name is Mike Kloepfer. My friends call me Mikey.
I call my art mikeyzart.
I create unique imaginative characters, creatures, and places - Fantasy, SciFi, and Whimsical art, as well as Portraits, Figures, and wildlife.
I have been a professional artist for over 3 decades. My art, and myself, have appeared in books and magazines, including The Artists Magazine, and Classical Drawing Atelier by Juliette Aristides. I have been a technical illustrator for Microsoft, Boeing and COBE Laboratories, a map-maker for USGS, graphic designer, cartoonist, fine artist, and many other occupations.
Along the way, I have created a lot of art!
I have sold over 1,000 professional portraits and over 12,000 professional caricatures. I have exhibited in dozens of art shows across the country, and my art has found homes with collectors on every continent - except Antarctica, but I'm working on that!
I have an associates degree in commercial art.
I studied Classical Realism in the Aristides Atelier with Juliette Aristides, at the Gage Academy in Seattle.
I am a founding member of the Convention Artists Guild (CO Chapter.)
I have taught classes and workshops in Denver, Seattle, and Orlando, as well as demonstrations, instruction, and panels at conventions across the United States.
I currently live in the Denver area (Colorado USA).
