I have been a full time professional artist, Illustrator and Designer for over 25 years
www.mikefisherca.com Skateboarding, punk, thrash, grindcore, and Glow in the Dark Monster Model kits: all allies in warping the creative mind of Los Angeles artist Mike Fisher. Operating under the banner of MaximumFluoride for more than a decade Fisher has adorned posters, shirts, stickers, and decks and more
with his macabre imaginings. Aside from various windows, poles, and walls, Mike’s work has appeared in the The World Of Board Graphics, The Heavy Metal and Hardcore Graphics, Art of Electric Frankenstein, The Art of Modern Rock,Gigposters Vol:2, and more. Check the metal and punk sections at your local music store or your local Rock Shop and your bound to find releases and apperal bearing his mark. Hailing from San Jose, California, Fisher became addicted to skating upon receiving his first board at age 10. Flipping through its pages, the bloody visions of Pushead and Marc Rude provided endless fascination. Combined with his burgeoning love of the Hardcore Punk scene, these dark images reawakened his artistic urges. Fisher’s second pulp epiphany occurred when a friend brought him an early issue of Juxtapoz. Inside he saw a spread for the poster work of Frank Kozik. More than just a gig poster, Fisher saw Kozik’s images as signifying something larger, underground, and dangerous. He wanted in. Resolved to leave his day job behind, Fisher started MaximumFluoride Killustration and began soliciting bands over the Internet for work. Often sending 60 emails a day to those whose music matched his aesthetic. Slowly but surely, word of Mike’s unique brand of madness spread as he garnered work from bands, brands, films, games and more. A respected artist with an unparalleled drive to succeed, Mike will continue his graphic obsession for years to come. After over 25 years of creating art for underground metal and punk bands Mike can honestly lay claim to having worked with almost every band that matters.
