We had the good fortune of connecting with Mykhael Harland and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mykhael, how do you think about risk?
Basically put..without risks there is no reward..we don’t grow being comfortable..we grow doing the things we dont want to do, the uncomfortable things, the things we put off.. those are the tasks we need to overcome to become better. We need risktakers to defy the laws. To change the game. To lead new paths

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art represents me and a forgotten era..the 90s and classic films and images from an iconic era..i was always told the past comes back..and i feel like since im part of the past i should capture it in art and showcase it…what sets me apart is my determination and discipline. I may not be the most talented artist but im definitely the hardest working. Nothing has been easy and i wouldnt want it any other way. Whatever is easy isnt for me. We build character challenging ourselves. I want the world to know that art is a valuable revenue, its an Aesthetic we are killing with Marshall prints and walmart finds. Support local artist’s

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Well buffalo ny. Is the food city capital of the usa. If you come here your definitely in for a meal. We have chicken wings. Pizza Steak hoagies. You name it lol we also have so many local spots with murals and art that any local walk will entice your eyes.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I wasn’t raised conventionally or had the best upbringing…but i definitely want to thank my mother…rachel..she was always a dedicated and vigilant person..she always pushed me to be better..pushed me to follow my dreams..whenever i messed up or double backed..she always reminded me that theres only two ways to go in life..forward or backwards.
