About Me |
|
| Illustrator/Designer, Mike Thompson has been creating works of art for as long as he can remember. He spent the majority of those years working in the T-shirt industry. Working with such companies as Ecko Unlimited, Rocawear, Timberland, as well as many others. In the past 5 years, Mike has shifted his artistic efforts toward print and advertising. He is probably best known for his work on the popular Ecko ad campaign, which ran between 2000-2003. The ads featured hip-hop artists such as Method Man and DMX, standing next to Mike's paintings. In 2003 Mike was contacted by Chicago advertising agency, Burrell Communications and featured in a Coca-Cola commercial. Last year Kanye West asked Mike to create a painting for his "Jesus Walks" video. The piece was shown at the end of the video. Recently, he has done work for several books and magazines and illustrated a cover for an EA Sports videogame. Last year INFINITI MOTORS featured Mike in their 2007 "Infiniti In Black" campaign.

I'd like to meet:Coke Commercial Photos...The best thing about my job is I paint people who's music I have loved for years. I think the reason my work looks the way it does is that I am a real fan of the subject matter. Put simply, "I love Hip-Hop."A while ago I was fortunate enough to work in a commercial with some of my favorite artists. Here are a few shots from that... Me and one of my favorite female artists of ALL time, Amel Larrieux on set.
