02 / THE ARTIST
Michael Vahl.
Art with a pulse.
I’m Michael Vahl, a Tampa-based artist and muralist rooted in the discipline of dry brush portraiture. My work brings the precision of hyperrealism together with the raw energy of street art—built on years of patience, repetition, and attention to detail.
Through my Dry Brush Dimensionalism series, I push portraiture beyond a flat surface, combining meticulous dry brush painting with layered paper and plexiglass to create physical depth, texture, and dimension.
From original portraits and fine art prints to large-scale murals, every piece carries that same dedication to the craft.

“I painted him with the same intensity he brings to his craft, locking in every detail with my dry brush technique.”
The Inspiration
My homage to King Kendrick. An artist whose words and vision have shaped a generation. I painted him with the same intensity he brings to his craft, locking in every detail with my dry brush technique. Behind him, the gritty sunsets of LA fade into graffiti textures, a nod to the city that raised him. This isn’t just a portrait, it’s about the man, the music, and the movement.

“This piece was created for the Children’s Cancer Center during “The Social Society” event at the Powell-Crosley Estate in Sarasota, FL”
The Inspiration
The woman in the painting is from that time period, and the background hides small nods to alcohol, wine, and even a few ripped-out book pages from one of my favorite artists. I layered these with spray paint and slipped in some cigars above her head, nestled behind gold leaf blending elegance, grit, and a hint of mischief.

“There’s a twist to the story! Total cosmic coincidence.”
The Inspiration
Commissioned as a gift for Vic Tipness, Batman fan and CEO of Blackstone Medical Services. I went gritty and street-level with this version of the Dark Knight, turning his suit into a canvas of graffiti tags and marker strokes.There’s a twist to the story! I circled a spot on Batman’s neck for Vic to sign and crowned it. When I finally met him to deliver the painting, I saw he already had a crown tattoo in that exact place. Neither of us knew beforehand. Total cosmic coincidence.
