Michael is a funky “redumbdent” manchild who enjoys making love to himself instead of war with others. He has a flair for the pen and sometimes even draws with one. In his off-time he befriend helpless dolphins with issues. What a nice guy.
For sixteen years this unconventional artist paid the bills with his job as a printer. Day after day of taking out the company’s trash led him to the realization that printing produces quite a bit of waste, so he decided to take some of that “trash” and, well… be creative with it. You can see the product of his little brainstorm at http://www.bannerdaybags.com.
After an unexpected "career change" (a.k.a. layoff) this past year, Michael decided to make a go at making a living by making his own art. You can visit www.michaelseanpiper.com for a peek at the result of that decision-- MSP Designs-- and to peruse his online shop.
Years ago, Michael also acquired a website at which he had hoped to post submissions from all over the country (and the world?) in a project called “The Footnotes”. He had created a postcard with a rendering of two sets of feet in the grass (like two friends lying side by side) above which people could add voice balloons, thought bubbles, draw pictures-- whatever they wanted to add-- to create their own unique “footnote”… and then mail it back to him via “snail mail”. He shamelessly recruited friends– and sometimes even strangers– to help distribute the postcards in local coffeehouses, to friends, on street corners… wherever their little hearts desired! You can contact him at msp@michaelseanpiper.com or visit thefootnotes.org if you’re interested; all these years later there are still postcards left, and the project has languished for quite some time now!
