Bio:
Michael was born in Uganda and moved to the UK with his family at the age of 11. His passion for drawing was clear from an early age, often expressed through doodles on any surface within reach, whether it was paper and books or walls and tables.
He attended Marriotts High School in Stevenage before following his passion for art at Coventry University, where he studied illustration and animation. After graduating in 2013, he was eager to kickstart his career in illustration.
A friend’s recommendation led him to a role as a caricaturist at the iconic London Eye, marking the beginning of his journey as a professional artist.
In 2015, Michael founded MKcaricatures to specialise in live drawing at events such as weddings, corporate functions, and parties. As his business grew, he expanded his services to include his now award-winning caricature wedding stationery, commercial illustration and personalised gifts.
Alongside his caricature work, Michael gained two years of tutoring experience, first on the Art Foundation course at North Herts College and later at Coventry University, where he taught illustration and animation. This experience inspired him to develop his own creative workshops for schools, events and businesses.
Michael now draws at over 150 live events annually and creates thousands of caricatures from photos for wedding place cards and seating plans, personalised gifts and commercial illustration. Michael also runs on demand creative team-building workshops for companies big and small. His impressive client list includes major brands like Microsoft, Mercedes, Samsung, Adobe, John Lewis, Fulham Football Club, Oxford University and many more.
In 2025, Michael launched MK Art Clubs in partnership with Moore Place Hotel in Milton Keynes, with the aim of delivering creative workshops for children aged 3 to 16.
