MIKE WAS A VERY TALENTED BUT VERY TROUBLED ARTIST WHO OFTEN DISPLAYED ECCENTRIC BEHAVIOR FOR INSTANCE HE MAILED HIMSELF A HAND PAINTED UNSTAMPED POSTCARD (RETURN TO SENDER!) WITH A MESSAGE TO HIMSELF EVERYDAY. SINCE HIS DEATH AT AGE FIFTY SEVEN BY SUICIDE (HE JUMPED OUT THE SIXTH FLOOR WINDOW OF HIS APARTMENT BUILDING) HE HAS BECOME VERY WELL KNOWN.
