About Mike Kloepfer (mikeyzart)

Hi! My name is Mike Kloepfer. My friends call me Mikey.
I call my art mikeyzart.

I create unique imaginative characters, creatures, and places - Fantasy, SciFi, and Whimsical art, as well as Portraits, Figures, and wildlife.

As a professional artist for over 3 decades, my art and myself have appeared in many places: books and magazines, including The Artists Magazine, and Classical Drawing Atelier by Juliette Aristides; as well as galleries, art shows and conventions. I have been a technical illustrator for Microsoft, Boeing and COBE Laboratories, a map-maker for USGS, graphic designer, cartoonist, fine artist, and many other artistic occupations.

And I’ve made a lot of art!

I have sold over 1,000 professional portraits and over 12,000 professional caricatures. I have exhibited in dozens of art shows across the country, and my art has found homes with collectors on every continent on Earth!

I have an associates degree in Commercial Art.

I have had the privilege to participate in the founding of several great institutions:

• I studied Classical Realism with Juliette Aristides, as a Charter Alumni of the Aristides Atelier at the Gage Academy in Seattle.

• I studied Painting with Master Fantasy Artist Roger Dean, as a Charter Alumni of the Roger Dean School of Art.

• I am a Founding Member of the Convention Artists Guild (CO Chapter.)

I have taught classes and workshops in Denver, Seattle, and Orlando, and continue to lead demonstrations, instruction, and panels at conventions across the United States.

I currently live in the Denver area (Colorado USA).
