Art Bio
Based in Lawrence, KS, Michael Owen Taylor (a.k.a. The PixNinja) is a mixed media and illustration artist. His work is inspired by street art, graffiti and pop culture and utilizes recycled/repurposed materials including wood, glass, canvas and metal. Influenced by artists such as Keith Haring, Shepard Fairey and Banksy, the work is a mix of abstract textures and visuals combined, many times, with originally illustrated and hand cut stencils.
The process at PixNinja Studio, whether it be creating original art or hosting workshops, is designed to make art that is original and entertaining, while also being accessible to those who are non-artists or have a passion/curiosity about the creative process.
Michael is the Owner/Creative Director at PixNinja Studio with 25+ years experience in design, web and marketing, is a current board member with the Lawrence Percolator and is active and supportive in the local art community.
