I’m a husband, father of 4, lizard enthusiast and Christian who loves to draw CARtooned cars. I started Micahdoodles (parttime) after I started getting requests to draw people’s vehicles almost 5 years ago. It’s been a wild ride as my style continues to change and develop. I draw most nights after the family goes to bed from 10pm to midnight catching up on client requests and sharpening my skills.
My encouragement for those car artists is to get involved in a car artist forum either on Instagram or Facebook. Draw and post often and learn from others. Most of all, have fun at what you do.
I always loved to doodle and sketch when growing up. I drew mostly cartoons and ideas I had in my head. Yes, I was one of those kids who constantly got in trouble for drawing on their homework papers too. In high school, I started painting back windows of club trucks in the late 80’s. I also drew for our school paper and did cartooning for t-shirts and other events where needed. I illustrated my first children’s book just after high school called: My Mother Doesn’t Like To Cook, after I was contacted by author Wanda Phillips. In college, I was a cartoonist for the paper as I was pursuing my degree in Graphic Design with an emphasis on computer animation. After college, I pursued my graphic design degree (1996) and have been designing ever since.

I was accepted to Art & Design where, at the time, we had to take four periods of art. I fell in love with the airbrush and never put it down since 1988. Fast forward to today, and I continue my education, I attempt to take yearly airbrush classes, in order to improve and grow.
