About The Artist

Mike Roberts is a northern artist who lives in Timperley near Manchester. He has arguably a unique style and quirkiness that adds a sense of originality and flamboyance. His inspiration has come from his own experience as well as his interpretation of “Fag Hag” Silvia the older insane friend who is still living her party-girl lifestyle. One we can all aspire to!

Having studied art in the 80s, Mike got disheartened with the art scene and decided to take a break. Now having more time to paint he has come back refreshed and created a style that brings flamboyance and quirkiness with a sense of nostalgia.

His imaginary and sometimes realistic characters have been brought to life with his beautiful linework and exuberant colours.

Currently Mike is working on a series of Edward Lear illustrations Having just completed the Owl and Pussycat.
