About Me:
Wolfgang Mikyáll Mozart, known professionally by several pen named as a commercial artist, fine artist and video celebrity Mikke Mozart, Michael Wolfe or Mike Mozart has been an professional artist and product designer since the age of 14.
As an illustrator for over 40 years, Mike specializes in creating artwork of some of the most popular children's characters for many companies, such as Disney, Warner Brothers, Mattel and Crayola to name a few.
MiMo, (MIke MOzart), manages to thematize current events and convey a message through color that excites collectors over a work.
Passionate about painting since he was a child, Mike has had a long and diverse art career. Starting out as a street artist back in the 70s, Mike used his initiative and his love of art to break into the illustration world when he was a teenager - a career that would span over 40 years.
These days, Mike enjoys well-deserved success as a fine canvas artist in his own right, but he has never lost the love of painting that fueled him forward from a young age. In fact, listening to him speak about the happiness he gets from creating art, you can feel an almost childlike wonderment in his voice - and this is certainly reflected in his bright, colorful artwork featuring nostalgic cartoon characters like the Monopoly Man, Richie Rich and Uncle Scrooge. Mike also created the super popular TheToyChannel on KZfaq, where he has reviewed thousands of classic toys. As well as the Toy Review Channel Jeepersmedia featuring critical reviews of the worst toys in history!
