Writing about......writing.
Participation trophies for everybody.
Here, have a cookie.
Spill your guts and bleed for me.
Dance, little monkey.
Public isolation, I'm dying up here.
Sort the pieces.
Stir the solutions.
Use all of the glue.
Burn the bridges.
Improvise.
Comedy vomit stuck in your throat.
Entertainment.

Damn kids.
Get off my lawn.

    Mike Nobody

    Turning Junk Into Punk Since 1985

    Mike Nobody
    is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, visual artist, and creator of experimental
    ​custom-made instruments. Diagnosed with major depression and social anxiety disorders, he is regarded as an outsider artist–musician by his contemporaries in the fine art and alternative music scenes. Known for his highly eclectic style and diverse projects, his sound incorporates a variety of music genres, both popular and experimental, with a predominantly Lo-Fi aesthetic. Much of his work consists of ultra-limited, handmade cassettes recorded alone in his home, with whatever means that were available at the time.


    His visual work consists primarily of “stream of consciousness” drawings and mixed media paintings
    ​
    made from repurposed materials, with occasional ventures into film & video.


    Creating in near anonymity since the 1980’s, most exposure to his work has been primarily in the form of mail art packages, ad-hoc self-distribution, and a few local retail outlets. He gained some notoriety in the Metro Detroit area, beginning in the 1990’s, and has collaborated with numerous musicians across the sonic spectrum. Whether people were listening or not, however, Mike continued to compulsively produce music and art pieces. Exponential growth of the internet in the intervening years has given Mike new opportunities to reach an audience, unavailable to him before.
