Make Nice

Mike Who-ins?

I'm Mike Newins, a designer and maker. In the studio, I work with a lot of self imposed restraints: starting with a very specific goal and adding restrictions until I have something beautiful, perfect.

I am heavily influenced by artists of the Light and Space Movement and the Minimalism Movement of the 60's. Notably Donald Judd, Dan Flavin and James Turrell.

I also draw endless inspiration from imaginary worlds. I have a setting inside of my head, where I combine neo-noir scifi movies with magical realism novels and my own imagined realms. This is where hang out while I design.
