About Me
Hi, I’m Michael — the cartographer of imaginary worlds.
Sometimes I’m a filmmaker, sometimes I’m a painter, sometimes I’m a map-maker who spends far too long deciding where to put a single mountain.
Other days I’m hunched over sketches, inventing coastlines no one has ever sailed, or editing frames until a story feels alive. Whether it’s a canvas, a camera, or a compass rose, it all comes from the same obsession: bringing stories to life in ways you can see, touch, and maybe even get lost in for a while.
I invite you to step into The World of Game of Thrones, wander through the Regions of Westeros or follow Frodo’s path through Middle Earth, or journey to a World of Unicorns?
Films
When I make films, I’m chasing atmosphere — the flicker of light across a face, the rhythm of an edit that suddenly feels like music, the quiet pause that says more than dialogue ever could. My work ranges from short films to cinematic explorations of suspense and imagination, always with a love for storytelling that breathes beyond the frame.
Art and Drawings
Before I ever touch a finished piece, I spend hours drawing and painting — sometimes with graphite that smudges under my hand, sometimes with soft pastels that explode into color, sometimes with a digital brush that feels almost endless in possibility. These sessions are my playground and my training ground.
I love exploring different approaches: a photorealistic portrait that captures every shadow and wrinkle, a loose sketch that leaves space for imagination, or a digital study that bends reality into something new. Each medium has its own rhythm — the patience of pencil lines, the immediacy of pastel, the precision of pixels.
For me, drawing isn’t just preparation. It’s a way to see more closely, to notice details in a face, a gesture, or a landscape that might otherwise slip away. Sometimes the result is polished, ready to stand on its own; sometimes it’s messy and raw, but still alive with energy.
Find me on Instagram
The best way to peek over my shoulder is Instagram. That’s where the half-finished sketches, ink-smudged pages, and behind-the-scenes film snippets end up.
You’ll also find glimpses of my ongoing tarot card project, where I’m reimagining archetypes through my own visual language.
