The artist

Mikey Dubs

In the 90s we all collected cards and figured we’d retire on our “investments.” I was one of many kids who never threw his away. In January 2026 a friend told me that prices were skyrocketing, and I was likely a millionaire by now. I am not.

Still refusing to throw my cards away, I decided to repurpose them instead. The first few pieces were terrible. Then I made a couple that were OK, and gave them to friends. So I kept going, and a couple times a week I’ll put down the kiddo and make some art. Now every piece is a chance to try a new style, a new player, a new idea.

Based in Atlanta. Shows at festivals and markets around the Southeast.
