I am a envious of my friends who have made the leap to expat life in a city where being a full time artist is not only possible but encouraged. Berlin has become such a vibrant city full of artists (the fact that it's so affordable being a great draw) with incredible flea markets and so close to so many inspiring places. Visiting there always makes me think about doing the same.<br />Congratulations to Michael for living this life so fully.

I always appreciate the European practicality of leaving useful, not-beautiful things (such as the hot water heater above the sink) out on display - a certain honesty. Here in America we would house it in a bulky cabinet.

I have been waiting to see this post. Each room has its own mood and in some cases several moods depending on where you look. I'm above all partial to his blue and white chinoiserie design and wish it were possible to be transported there for a visit. Aside from his mural designs the room with the canvases of varying images with largely blackish backgrounds would be impossible to forget. What a great writeup because of all the detail that has ghone into speaking with Michael and gathering so much interesting information! I think he ought to take a rest.Harrison Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188794603465253435noreply@blogger.com
