Mike "Arty" Arthurholtz Las Vegas, NV Arty was born and raised midst the glitz, glamour, and clanking casinos of beautiful Las Vegas, which prefers your cash over it's culture. Arty had two great interests coming out of high school; art and medicine. Since art school was a financial impossibility, the military offered another interesting option. After a six year tour in the U.S. Army as a combat medic, he fed his curious fascination with the human body at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. He currently lives out a childhood dream working as a Firefighter/Paramedic in Las Vegas.

Mike has precious little formal art instruction, but with natural talent and the inspiration he derives from the world around him (however distorted that may be), he is now in the process of creating a portfolio worthy of public showing. Arty is fascinated with flames, tattoo art, angels, spirituality, duality, and the state of being human. He is influenced by anatomy, antique medical texts, and vintage cars, and works primarily in acrylics, pastels, pen and ink. He is the creator of the Art Renegades collective, an online gallery of emerging underground artists. Contact: artrenegade702[at]hotmail[dot]com All work is copyright property of the artist.
