Recently, I met a wonderful artist named Michael Wertz at an art workshop at San Francisco Center for the Book. He's spunky, unconventional and brimming with talent.
Michael is an illustrator as well as a silk screen artist and creates whimsical, colorful images, that often include words.
You can feast your eyes on some of his images here and also check out more of his work at http://www.wertzateria.com.
