May 13th 2014 - Watch for my art in the UPCOMING MOVIE, The Longest Ride -. Today I received a call from 20th Century Fox for permission to use five of my paintings in the upcoming movie, The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks. Thrilled with the opportunity to supply some of the art work for scene decoration in this upcoming film. My art work will be used in the movie The Longest Ride, as set dressing in a scene that takes place in an art gallery that one of the main characters is an intern. Very thankful for the opportunity!! Thank you 20th Century Fox for choosing my artwork for The Longest Ride!

MAY 2014 (continuing to Sept 2014) -- WILD THINGS FANTASY BY MICHEL KECK AND LINDA MITCHELL EXHIBIT: - This exciting exhibition features fantasy artwork by Michel Keck and Linda Mitchell. Museum Curator, Michael Crowthers has invited the artists and will help create a very unique atmosphere in the museum. Each artist’s works evoke images from an imaginative and surreal world. These works are both visually stimulating and extremely well executed. Wild Things will entice families and art lovers alike by creating another world for viewers to step into at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette

My dress Here and Now with Art on Fashion is currently sold out but I will be working with them currently to bring more of my designs to their dresses so keep checking here for updates.

April 29th - Watch for my art in an upcoming epside of House Hunters - Where Are They Now? I was contacted by HGTV today asking permission to use a couple of my works in an upcoming episode of House Hunters - Where Are They Now? Two of my works, my dachshund and doberman collage works will be used as set dressing for a backdrop of one of the couples they will be interviewing for their show. Thank you House Hunters!!!

 

JANUARY 2014

Jan 10th 2014 -

UPCOMING MOVIE CHAPPIE: I rec'd an email from the set designers working on the upcoming movie Chappie with Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman to request permission to use the artwork of one of my collage dogs as dressing in the movie. Sigourney personally requested the work of my pug collage to be a part of the set dressing in their office in the movie. I'm very honored to have my art as part of Ms. Weaver's personal art collection as Yoda the pug is now part of her personal collection. She also graciously took the time to send me a thoughtful thank you letter regarding my collage piece. Yes, she called me Michael... but in 43 years nobody has ever gotten it right... so its all good! Look for my work Yoda in the Chappie coming to theatres soon :)
