ANNIVERSARY GIVE AWAY!!!!!!

Be sure to also keep a copy of your receipt once you've ordered from me directly or through my online stores & galleries because this June 2013 marks my 8th year in business & to commemorate that achievement I'm going to be giving away 8 autographed prints of my Golden Lion print! Each will be hand signed & on the back will be the limited edition number. For all of the information check out this page.

Are you looking for a beautiful wildlife, Egyptian, Celtic knot or fantasy painting that you can purchase framed & matted so that all you have to do is hang it up? Maybe you're looking for a special gift?  Are you tired of artists & designers who respond to your request with an automated message or take several days to return a call or email?

I WON THE ART COMPETITION!

I'm very pleased to announce that thanks to all of your votes I am one of the two winners of the Anata Gallery art contest for May 2011!  With the help of all of you who voted for me my work will now not only be featured in their gallery book but also be appearing on the cover of the book which means terrific exposure that money can't buy! I thank each of you who took the time to vote for me, to have your friends & family vote for me as well; it means a great deal to an artist to have that kind of public support.

If so, then you have found just some of the MANY reasons to go with Mike Sexton Studio for all your art or design project needs.  My name's Mike Sexton, owner of Mike Sexton Studio, formerly known as Birdman's Designs, in Northeastern Kansas, USA.  I'm an artist that uses digital painting as my main medium.  I strive to make each of my paintings look like oil, acrylic & water color paint has been used & I do this without the aide of fancy filters & my work is available for framing for you to enjoy in your home or business.  I specialize in creating original paintings & gifts that include such themes as big cats, wild birds, wolves, Egyptian, Celtic knots, fantasy & more.

For those of you who are needing work done for your business, Mike Sexton Studio is able to design just the right items for your needs whether it's for promotional gifts or website design if that is what you’re looking for, so as you can see, Mike Sexton Studio has experience in many areas of graphic design/digital painting and I will bring your personal or business project ideas to life!  I provide an upfront quote when told what you're needing.  All details are laid out for you in the very beginning so there aren’t any surprises.   Mike Sexton Studio, formerly Birdman's Designs, does its absolute best to provide excellent quality work for all of your personal & professional needs.  When you contact me you won't be subjected to another automated email message or a list of automated choices if you call me; what you will get is a timely response with an ACTUAL email message or a live voice when you call.  I invite you to check out my portfolio to see a sample of my work.  See my FAQ page to see my business hours.

I have experience in several different areas so my business is more than just one dimensional like you'll find with so many others. For those of you who are needing something personal done I design custom t-shirts, sweaters, caps, mouse pads, pillows and so much more.  I can touch up and edit your photos if they've been damaged somehow and you don't want to part with them;  I can make them look as good and even better than the originals!  So, instead of driving to the local photo mat place or driving all over town looking for a gift for someone or some new clothes for yourself & your family, why not save the cost of the gasoline, considering how expensive it is, and shop at one of my online stores in the comfort of your own home;  the money you save on gasoline alone will save you quite a bit of money and headaches.
