Nine collections, one
obsession with the ridiculous
Mike painted the same world for years and it got funnier as it went. Start wherever appeals.
Quirky Houses
Browse →Crooked cottages, tilting chimneys and lanes that refuse to sit straight. Quirky wall art at its most unusual.
Animals
Browse →Cows with opinions, pigs with a past, dogs who know exactly what they’ve done. Animal art with a straight face.
Seaside
Browse →Harbours, huts and holidaymakers. Coastal art prints painted on the spot at Lyme Regis, Weymouth and West Bay.
South West
Browse →Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset — the places Mike actually stood in to paint.
Mods
Browse →Parkas, scooters and too many mirrors. Retro wall art, and a love letter to 1964.
Cops & Robbers
Browse →Coppers on a long shift and villains who were never going to get away with it. Funny wall art, properly painted.
Peaky Blinders
Browse →Flat caps, long coats and a great deal of standing about looking hard.
Hoodies
Browse →The tall ones. Hunched figures in hoods, painted in Mike’s narrow upright format.
All Art Prints
342 →The whole shebang, in one place, if you’d rather just have a rummage.
Mike Jackson, 1962-2026
A butcher who taught himself to paint
“I left school with few qualifications but with a great love of art. I was encouraged to learn a trade so I would always have something to fall back on. I became a butcher.
After a wide and varied career path I eventually pursued the artistic path and became a graphic designer. I bought the various computer packages along with an Apple Mac and taught myself.
For years I concentrated on perfecting my watercolour skills. I was pushed by a friend who has a gallery in Somerset to try out acrylics. This I did, and to my surprise I absolutely loved them. I have no formal training in art so I have had to learn by my own mistakes, yet I would have it no other way.
We moved to Somerset in 1999, which was fabulous for my artistic inspiration, as the colours and the local sounds of the country really help to free up my mind.”
