1xRun: How long did the piece take?
Micheal Page: All of my paintings vary in time, I can be working on five to ten paintings at one time, so I really never know how long one particular piece takes. Over a few months for sure though.

1xRun: What is unique about this piece?
Micheal Page: It’s painted by me, and it shows the transitions of my styles at that time in my life, morphing into something new and exciting.
