About Mike McMullen
Mike McMullen creates work as an Artist, Art Director, and Designer in Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife and partner Cheryl Humphreys and their son Cyan. McMullen has had a lifelong obsession with printed matter and although he’s experienced in printmaking and other mediums, he is constantly seeking to unlearn process and reintroduce play into his work. More akin to automatic writing or gestural drawing than it is a planned production, McMullen’s work is less concerned with outcomes than honesty.
