I've been busy and have not updated this blog in many moons, but I do have a new portfolio that I invite you to check out at matimm.weebly.com.
After I complete my Coakley Brothers commission, I plan to return to more frequent posting at this blog. But I also have several other projects keeping me busy during summer 2013 and into fall, so no promises.
Keep writing, keep reading, and keep on smiling--You Are Here!

Since 2008 he's published Milwaukee Anthropologist, the online magazine of the liberal arts for general audiences (your patience between issues is much appreciated as this has unfortunately become the lowest of his creative priorities).

He enjoys ping-pong, watching female roller derby, and reading novels by Neal Stephenson, Umberto Eco, Thomas Pynchon, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, the late greats Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Michael Crichton.

In 2004 Michael graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a double-major in Anthropology and English from Ripon College, where he was editor of the Ripon College Days newspaper. In 2002 he spent five weeks in Peru working with an archaeological field crew.
