About Me:
Mike Butler attended the Ontario College of Art for 4 years, graduating in 1980 as an Associate of the Ontario College of Art (AOCA) in Fine Arts. For several years he worked in watercolours and ink developing an expressionistic style.

In the early to mid eighties Mike became interested in computer technology as a medium for fine art. In 1991 he created and maintained the Virtual Palette -- an electronic bulletin board system for artists that predated the Web.

From 1995 onwards his artwork has been shown and published primarily on the web and has appeared in projects as a member of the Webism Group of World Wide Webists. His art work can be viewed at www.mikyo.com. He can be contacted at mike@mikyo.com

What is Art4Barter?

Bartering may be the answer to bail us out of our current crisis. Although artists have historically been bartering as much as possible it is more relevant now than ever before. It can provide a solution to survival for so many of us and create a new vision for society.

The artists that are participating are from diverse backgrounds, and will present their works for barter. No works shall be sold for money but rather for services… Continue
