Hi there.  As you may have guessed or perhaps already knew, my name is Michael Startzman.  I'm an adventure illustrator. I travel to all kinds of unique places; places not so different from the ones you know.  While in these "other places" I discover and hear stories about many wonderful characters and magnificant stories.  More often than not, I have my own teriffic adventures.  On this website I illustrate all of my adventures, stories and characters I encounter.  I hope you enjoy strange, new discoveries and share some of your own stories and character with me too.
