Michael Sieben is an Austin-based artist, working as a professional illustrator and designer mostly within the popular skateboard culture. He has also been a staff writer and illustrator for Thrasher since 2004. He has done many art pieces for Volcom, Bueno, and his own company called Roger Skateboards. All in all, Michael Sieben has got to be one of my biggest inspirations. Any artist who puts emotion onto the face of their creations will hands down be one of my favorites, but Michael Siebens' just stand out from the crowd.
