About Mike Johnston:

By day Mike Johnston teaches elementary art and at night he is a street art evangelist bringing the message of joy to the masses.  He loves to paint on found objects and on giant concrete walls.  The four years that he and his wife lived overseas in Asia and the Middle East really shaped his creative process. One thing he hopes to be true about his art is that it brings a smile.  His major influences have been comic books, Jesus Cristo, and street art.
