Michael Mcdonnell Michael Mcdonnell is a Berlin-based digital and illustrative artist originally from Liverpool, England. He works with hand-drawn lettering combined with various playful illustrations and character designs.

Street Art and the quirkiness of European branding and logo styles are some of the artist’s inspirations. Street-life, Subculture, Music, Fashion, Skateboarding, and Cycle culture (Fixie/Track bike) are more things that inspire the artist in giving his analysis of the current state of affairs and opinions or ideas about the Zeitgeist as a whole.

The artist likes to work with a combination of wordplay and humour to comment on social attitudes and behaviour within different subcultures/movements and societies. He puts words together to make a prose/rap and highlights letters within these words to create brand new phrases. .

About the Artwork Pineapples have an interesting meaning if you look up in history. Follow the trail and you’ll find that they were used as welcoming gifts. A welcoming symbol mixed with what’s fresh and exotic, and that’s where I think my monkeys live, where they play.
