"Big Mike" Angulo was born and raised in Southern California and is somewhat of an institution in the art and music world.

He became interested in the arts at a young age. Big mike works in various types of media, but his first love is sculpture. As a child he dreamed of becoming an archeologist - and while that didn't work out, he found something even better: studying and sculpting his own variations of ancient artifacts.

He trained with his mentor, artist Ron Therrio, who taught him many of the techniques that he still uses today to bring his work to life. He has focused on the Polynesian art for the past 8 years.

Keep an eye out for new designs by Mike, inspired by different cultures from around the world.

Mike is also available for any type of modelmaking and sculpting gigs
