As I was posting this in the Dam Funk thread, I realized the man's talent is too big to be buried in someone else's thread.

Now I only actually met the man once, but he was a fun, friendly dude and just seemed to be an all-around good guy with decent karaoke skills. However, dude is a freakin' beast when it comes to artwork and DJing! From his graemlin contributions to his Freeway & Lyn Christopher buttons to his Soulstrut shirt design to his CLASSIC Heavy Sessions mixtape to his Things Kings Do and Monster Mash mixtapes with Otto to the flyer he designed for the anniversary of my weekly some 5-6 years ago (which I have framed) to the multiple mixes he's dropped online to the little quirky details/vocal samples that (I've heard) he adds to his live mixes that probably only a handful of people actually get but that's okay 'cause I think he probably only does it for those handful of people anyways to his countless shirt and concert poster/print designs like the Dam Funk one below I just bought off StonesThrow's site for $20 (yes, $20!) to his incredible remixes to his alphabet keychain series (some $50 later and I still can't spell my name out...damn blind boxes. Plus I still need that poster too!) to his burger Dunny which was straight up bitten (no pun intended) by the Walt Disney Company to his awesometastically delicious design blog to...shit, there's just waaaaaay to much to name. Dude's creativity and prolificness is off whatever chart they measure creativity and prolificness on!

Post your favorite and collect 'em all!

Plus he didn't design this but the website says it was his idea (file under: copped):

Seriously, who dreams up crazy dope ideas like this?! Mike The 2600 King, that's who.
 
I second every sentiment expressed. Mike is as nice and interesting as he is talented.
 
I was just looking at his blog yesterday, and sent it to a designer friend. Never met him, but I'm always checkin' for him.
 
DAMN you guys are too kind. Herm, you are that DEWD. Wow I'm humbled by all the kind words here and super happy to have an outlet to get to do all of this cool shit.





Oh and I did indeed design the pixelated logo shirt, but if anyone from N**e asks, shhhhhhhh...

i think this is instantly the best thing ive seen ever










... and Heavy Sessions is a top-3 all-time SS-related mix for me. that and Raj's Ca$h Play were on my dashboard for years.
 
Huge fan over here, check the blog on the regular and his mixes are always on heavy rotation. I want one of those eye-popping Dam Funk prints when they become available. I shed tears that the nike t and in fact all the t's are printed on Americal Apparel though.

Hey,





Straight up and down, Mike is that dude, nuff said!!! He's got the crazy crates, record knowledge, wit, and all around good-naturedness. He's a great asset to the 'Strut, and it's about damn time he got appreciated.





Peace,
