Originally travelling to New York to study Fine Art on an full scholarship at the age of 20, Mike has spent much of his adult life travelling, completing six round the world trips, bike messaging in 9 cities and painting anywhere he could.

Makatron's street art enlivens many inner-city walls throughout the world, notably New York, Berlin and Melbourne. He has also left his mark and many more. In 2007 he travelled to India to paint along the River Ganges and 2009 saw him travel to  Brazil, to exhibit  and take part in the Usina Urbana Hiphop festival.  Bringing home a bag full of inspiration, he accomplished a sell out solo show “Makanikal Gardens”.

The themes and inspirations of Makatron's work are as eclectic as the media he employs, his work is preoccupied with the interface between man, beast and machine. Presenting a visual riot that stimulates the mind, Mike’s art conveys a message for many confined in the concrete jungle to stay connected with the natural world.
