Mike was born in Gulfport, MS, and has been drawing faces since early childhood. Beginning in the first grade, his papers were filled with doodles of silly faces — animals, people, and everything in between.

Over the years, he has created nearly 4,000 original faces, each one hand‑drawn and full of personality.

Why Silly Faces?

“I draw faces. Faces are what I draw. It may be silly, but it’s what I love to do.”

Silly Faces are simple fun for children of every age.

No bodies. Just faces.

Collect them, trade them, enjoy them — everyone else does.
