When Michael Byers hung out at my cafe, he was always alone. Solitary. Peaceful.

Hemmed in by coffee, a sketch book, and a pen….he was the consummate artist at work.

I got to know him, and was regularly struck by his ability to turn those blank pages into something lived in, and alive. He is a lovely artist, and he has a style uniquely his own.

I’d recognize it anywhere.

Michael’s story is a good one; full of great mentors, and moments that inspired even me when hearing the tales. He is honest and immediate in his ability to share…and I’m so very grateful for that. He allowed me in, and we crushed two hours talking in no time.

He, like the rest of us, is a human trying to get better, learn, grow, and grasp gratitude while scribbling and sketching along the way.

Enjoy
