“Good Buy! Cruel World”

The largest exhibition devoted to Mike’s work occurred at Vashon Center for the Arts in November 2025. Updated “Trash Talking” works, “Real Life” action figures and more finely crafted parodies explored the dark humor realm of consumer satire. A one-person bizarre by KING-5’s “Vashon Man” hypocritically descended on the sappy holidays with over 200 hand-made works encompassing leftover corporate ephemera, holiday ornaments, good times, bad times, golden oldies, and the doom to come. His infamous cardboard shoes were shown with his “Art Army”, “King Cuts” and “Empire Peaks”. Listen to a beloved local independent radio station - The Voice of Vashon - interview Mike about the show. Take a virtual Good Buy! Cruel World tour. Or - during a time of peril for the arts - listen to Mike’s accompanying lecture of love for art lovers.
