Michael Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan.

From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Children's Memorial Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art.

Blog To the Future!

QUICK!  To the DeLorean!

Emmett "Doc" Brown, Marty McFly, and a Hover Board in 2015.  GREAT SCOTT!

 Scout makes a good Hover Board even if she was very gassy at the Halloween party.  Someone must have found some cheese on the kitchen floor...



Thanks Megan and Scout for making my dream of 26 years come true!

Now We Belong To the Ages

Beep! Beep!  Party Bot demands you have a good time!  Beep!  Beep!

Me and Amanda for Halloween

Adam and I in the best Diet Pepsi ad ever.

Adam and his date, Ryan...


 If Nick were to release a solo album, I'll request this be used as its image...

Oh Ian, I only knew you for a few hours.  But, the memories will last forever.  Especially when this is what you looked like when your parents stopped by to visit in the morning...  You could tell they were so proud...

I want to manage this all-girl punk band.

Adam in his Canadian Tuxedo.

Shaun expertly demonstrates "The Flying Crane."

 What happens when you start fishing in the White River at night?  Well, you fall in the river and get your line stuck in a tree and spend the rest of the night on a tree in your long johns...

Oh Ben...

Graceful

Earned a good night's rest.

 Would you like a piano duet?  May I suggest "Heart and Soul?"

Brian sure knows how to hot tub

Mike Nummerdor and I at the Mastadon House

This concludes the digitization of embarrassing old photos (for the most part).  Hope you've enjoyed them.
