Michael Kyeyune | Live Artist & Illustrator |Milton Keynes, UK
Michael Kyeyune was born in Uganda and moved to the UK with his family when he was 11 years old.
In the family homes where he grew up, his drawings could be found on any surface within his reach. Whether it was walls, tables or doors, Michael's creativity knew no bounds, often to his parents' dismay.
After completing high school, Michael pursued his passion for art at Coventry University where he studied illustration and animation. Following his graduation in 2013, Michael was eager to jumpstart his career in illustration. A friend’s recommendation led him to a role as a caricaturist at the iconic London Eye. Over the course of a year, Michael honed his skill in capturing likenesses while entertaining audiences with his creativity and charm.
In 2014, Michael founded MKcaricatures to specialise in live drawing at events such as weddings, corporate functions, and parties. As his business grew, he expanded his services to include his now award-winning caricature wedding stationery, personalized gifts, and commercial illustration. Alongside his caricature work, Michael gained two years of tutoring experience, first on the Art Foundation course at North Hertfordshire College and later at Coventry University, where he taught illustration and animation.
Today, Michael's client list boasts a diverse range of clients, including industry giants such as Microsoft, Adobe, John Lewis, Mercedes, Porsche, Skoda, Stripe, Sainsbury's, Palantir, Deliveroo and many more.
