Such an in depth response to the collection in the museum. Mike has let his imagination run free in response to such a varied collection of exhibits. The delicate use of pastel shades to subtly amplify some of the subjects is particularly striking.

Rob, thank you. The collection is so vast and quirky I often felt as though I was being pulled in different directions by exhibits calling out to be included which sounds sentimental and odd, but that's what Cliffe Castle does to you! 🙏

I’ve been looking forward to this exhibition since I first heard about it. Such a great setting and subject matter for Mike to let his imagination run away with him, I find his work very thought provoking and leaves me wanting to know more about where it comes from.

Thanks Martin, I hope you get to the show when it reopens. It adds another dimension to the work to see the characters in their museum context. Not sure if it will make more sense though! Best wishes, M

Went to see this exhibition when it was open to the general public and was not disappointed! Fantastic work, you should be very proud!

I love how man and beast meld in so many of these images Mike, giving them a mythical and mystical quality. Also your use of colour brings them to life so beautifully!
