Michael Lusk is a licensed and published artist and designer based in Orlando, Florida. Originally from California, his work blends traditional craftsmanship with digital design, focusing on texture, character, and material-driven storytelling.

A Resident Artist at Café Tu Tu Tango, Michael creates work using bought, repurposed and reclaimed materials, often incorporating wood, pyrography, and layered construction to give new life to discarded objects.

His portfolio spans original artwork created under Michael Lusk and the pseudonym Hugo Edwins, in-house design work, and collaborative projects developed alongside other artists. In these collaborations, he works as a designer to thoughtfully refresh and evolve existing artwork—updating color palettes, composition, and structure to connect with new audiences while maintaining the integrity of the original artist’s vision.

As a designer and freelance artist with Sun Dance Graphics, an art publisher and licensor, he partners with artists, manufacturers, and retailers to develop artwork for large-scale commercial production.

His work—both original and collaboratively developed—has appeared in major retail environments including TJX Companies (T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods), Hobby Lobby, Walmart, Target, Kirkland’s, The Container Store, and with manufacturers such as Sun N Sand and Blank Quilting.
