My name is Mike Wheeler and I am a Junior at here at UT majoring in digital arts. I used to be an Advertising and Public Relations major, but I changed it because I love producing art, especially digitally, and I realized my original major would not have taken me where I wanted to go. I'm from a small suburb north of Chicago and am a total midwest guy. I am very outgoing and energetic and I love making new connections with the people around me. I just moved into my first house down here in Tampa and have really begun establishing myself in this beautiful city.

Oh boy, this project was by far the most tedious and mentally challenging project I have ever done! I used these little glitter sequence pieces on a 12x12 inch piece of wood.

I honestly didn't like how mediocre my flip book was, so I wanted to go above and beyond for this project. The hardest part was figuring out the layout of the design. Once the layout was done, gluing the pieces on wasn't challenging, just very time consuming and sticky to say the least. I used a heavy duty glue stick to put the pieces on and the glitter kept sticking to my fingers. I had to get a good system going and I ended up moving pretty fast towards the end. This has def...
My deconstruction video is based on the idea of paradise. I wanted to deconstruct the literal meaning of paradise and give it a new meaning that is still relevant to the word. Going to school in Florida, many people say that I go to school in paradise. But what really is paradise? I wrote the monologue that I speak in the video and I think it speaks for itself for what I truly believe is paradise. Paradise can be found in many different things, not just the palm trees and the ocean.
