Michael Connor:
Michael Connor is an Assistant Professor of Illustration at Maine College of Art & Design. When not teaching, he spends his time with his family on small daily adventures of walks in the woods, looking in tide pools, treasure‐hunting at thrift stores, and noticing small phenomena. His studio space doubles as a clubhouse in which he immerses himself in a collection of old toys, old monster movies, classic cartoons, oddball comics, Garbage Pail Kids, MAD Magazine, Nintendo games, old Doctor Who and Star Trek episodes, and music by DEVO, Talking Heads, id m theftable, Frank Zappa, Kate Bush, Blondie, the Rutles, and listening to Star Talk podcasts, and reading books on evolutionary biology and astrophysics.
Sometimes he puts away the traditional pen (or brush) & ink toys to dabble in graphite drawing, collage, painting, assemblage. He makes sequential narratives, many starring a small mammal called Asmwe, much of which has been self‐published in a zine titled Coelacanthus.
