Michael Delahaut (aka WISE) was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Starting in 1984, he became a participant in the early graffiti scene in Los Angeles. An artist of many disciplines and a graduate from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, Michael went on to become a Senior Designer at Wieden + Kennedy / New York working on award winning projects for such clients as Nike, Jordan, cKone, ESPN, Fleet Bank, MLB, NHL, and the NFL. Despite his commercial experiences, Michael considers his greatest art/design accomplishment an educational CD-ROM produced with other Art Center students about the life and remarkable accomplishments of Jackie Robinson and his brother Mack. The award winning educational piece was distributed throughout schools in the United States and helped to fund a scholarship at Art Center for future students. Currently residing in Hollywood, California, Michael works as an independent designer/art director and artist. He sites the work of his peers as his greatest inspiration.
