Infected By Art Book - Volume 6

I’m Michael Blank, and I’m fantasy artist. I love creating surreal, narrative imagery, full of allegory and mystery, inspired by mythology, and personal experience. I work both digitally and traditionally. In 2016 my work was published in Soman Chainani’s School for Good and Evil: Ever Never Handbook (HarperCollins), featuring over a 100 of my illustrations. From that point I’ve changed course, focusing primarily on personal work and developing my artistic voice. This work has been featured in a few art annuals such as Infected by Art and Spectrum Fantastic Art. I currently reside in Stamford, CT with my lovely wife Ashley and 2 adorable cats.

Projects:	Most of my themes involve characters in a symbiotic relationship:, beast and human. The relationship usually explores complexity and duality of the human soul inspired by ancient mythology, dark folk tales, fables, and the current state of this world. I treat each painting like a poem, laced with metaphors and allegory. In fact, most of my paintings come with a short verse that gives a little insight in the art piece.
