It is my glory to have received a guest submission from the artist, Mike Johnston.

The first 6 pieces of art shown in this article were all painted during the summer of 2016 in Winnipeg. 

 I asked Mike to tell me a bit about himself.

I, for one, am thrilled Mike has come out of hibernation. His work is eye-catching, totally gorgeous and the details are mesmerizing.

I asked Mike about this very interesting work of art, shown in the above photo, and next 2 shots.

Mike: “The mural with the panels was a painting i put up at a recent art show. The blank spaces are the paintings that came from the installation.”

I love it!

The following shots are some earlier examples of Mike’s work.

Below, is Lester. This was one of the very first pieces of Street Art I ever encountered in Winnipeg. However, Lester was seriously obscured by industrial trash bins. Two years later, I returned, only to find a good portion of this amazing work had eroded due to the harsh Winnipeg Winters.

Mike, thank you for this pic!
