  My Motto,"Quality Without Compromise"! Quality work & attention to detail goes into the development of my products & services. I don't compromise. I don't cut corners. I take pride in my work & services, & humbly offer them to you.Visit the links below and browse for unique wall art, mugs, tees, dresses, comforters, blankets, shower curtains and more, all featuring my art, graphics, and photos.I am currently developing several websites to host & market the products I am designing. Many of these products can currently be viewed on my two Etsy shops while my websites are in development (see product links below). I have spent 4 years taking 80,000 photos of nature, wildlife, and lighthouses, using them to create designs for my wall art, apparel, and mug product lines. I also have created flyers, pamphlets, and brochures from these images to promote my products, as well as using Bing Ads, and Google Adwords. I am working on simple animated video ads to run on YouTube Video Ads. This endeavor is an on-going process. I consider being self-taught to use the tools necessary to make this project happen, a major accomplishment.LINKS – (Shops In-Progress, Products, & Photos)Online Shops and Websites:• Mikes Mugs & More/Mugs By S.Michael on Etsy: http://mikesmugsnmore.com• EnVogue Shop on Etsy: http://envogueshop.com• EnVogue Shop Website (Under Construction): https://envogueshop.webs.com• Christian Clocks & Gifts (Operational Work In Progress): https://www.christianclocksandgifts.comPopular Original Design Products:• Personalize-iT! with YOUR Image.
