🔥SOLD!🔥
This wild little cityscape—full of graffiti dreams, googly eyes, and cryptic words—was snatched up before it ever went public. How? Because my collectors get first dibs on new work before anyone else sees it.
Every time someone buys a piece from me, they get a private peek behind the curtain at what’s coming next—exclusive previews, early access, and sometimes even secret releases. It’s my way of saying thanks and keeping the art magic flowing. Want in? All you have to do is collect.
And who knows? The next piece might already have your name on it...

My Story
Hi, I’m Mike the artist of Mike Kraus Art Inc.
I’ve been making art since I could hold a crayon. As a kid, I’d fill every notebook, homework margin, and scrap of paper with doodles. I sold my first artwork in junior high, sketching in class and handing off pieces between periods. That early love for making things never faded. I followed it all the way to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and eventually, I decided to stop treating art as a side hustle and make it my life’s work.
My paintings are full of energy, motion, and saturated color. I’m drawn to bold shapes and organic lines—forms that feel alive. I create with the hope that my work brings something beautiful and uplifting into someone’s day. Whether it’s a spark of joy, a moment of calm, or just a splash of color that makes you pause—I want my art to connect with something real.
Now, I’m lucky enough to paint full-time, with collectors across the U.S. and in dozens of countries around the world. But more than anything, I still feel like that kid with a crayon, excited to create. I’m grateful to share this journey with you—and I hope you find something in my work that makes your world a little brighter.
