A storyteller who speaks through visuals, Mikey Arnott turns imagination into art and art into something you can feel. With a background steeped in ’80s and ’90s pop culture and a lifelong love of drawing, Mikey’s illustrations are equal parts bold, quirky, and deeply human.
A proud member of the Batchewana First Nation, Mikey brings nature, spirit, and humor into everything he creates. His work includes the award-winning Spirit Bear, the playful The Amazing Adventures of Sisi the Mouse, and the wonderfully offbeat The Fruit Fly Must Die, proving there’s no story too big or too small for his imagination.
Whether designing characters, book covers, or wearable art, Mikey creates with joy and intention. At Enthusiasts of Life, he leads our visual storytelling with a signature style that transforms words into memorable, magnetic art.
“Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once they grow up”
– Pablo Picasso
