He is widely recognized for creating commercial children's characters, designing Disney and Uncle Scrooge products for over 45 years, and for his association as an early mentor and collaborator to pop artist Alec Monopoly.

MiMo designed a substantial amount of artwork for Alec Monopoly for almost 5 years, creating hundreds of pieces for him. He is a street artist from way back in the 70's and became a Professional Illustrator and Product Designer in the 1980's. He has illustrated over 100 licensed kids' books with Disney, Warner, Ninja Turtles, and dozens more.

This is an incredibly large, rare, and phenomenal piece of art executed using a LeBron James game-used stadium banner and applied to a 4'x6' museum-quality canvas. It is heavily embellished with 24k gold dust and MiMo's exclusive metal flakes sourced by himself from 6 different countries, protected under an art resin finish.

It is signed and dated "MiMo, 2022" in the lower left corner.

This piece was purchased directly from the artist, in person at his studio, and comes with a certificate of authenticity from Bowen Art Reserve LLC.

I've included photos of MiMo with this piece at his studio, along with a photo of the original Nike banner on MiMo's easel before painting.
