MIKE LYON, a Kansas City-based artist creates meticulously detailed large-scale drawings using marks made by traditional tools manipulated by non-traditional means, usually computers he has built and coded to suit his artistic vision.
The ARTish Plunge podcast explores Mike's leadership of the family cattle hide business and subsequent return to art, ultimately becoming an innovator in wood block and post digital printmaking. With an innately curious mind, Mike also creates handcrafted guitars, ukuleles and other furniture, collects Japanese ukiyo-e prints, plays the violin in the Kansas City Civic Orchestra, and holds a 4th degree black belt in karate.
