Michael Kennedy (aka Malangeo) is an Auckland-based artist and illustrator. He is known for his eccentric birbs, and creepy, yet also cute, wee critters! He uses traditional oil painting techniques, digital illustration and contemporary pop surreal style. Brought up on the irreverent humour of cartoons and comics like The Farside and Calvin & Hobbes; his art oozes whimsical charm, dark humour and pop culture references.
