you cant..... it chooses you. its GOT to be an obsession bcs the amount of energy and determination it takes to get there is more than what we are born with.
Such a loss of talent i only just found out about Mike passing condolences to everyone of his family and friends i am a fan of his art here in Australia i was going to get my boss hoss painted by him many years ago but now thats never going to happen ! Sad day to know Mike gone ! Rip ! May the lord keep you all blessed for ever amen!
Ive seen all his work not ever knowing who he was or having a face to the artist. I know the feeling of loving something so much youll do it for free, Ive been there and have done things for free bcs I wanted to see the look on the customer's face and wanted to give someone that feeling. owning something that someone else created and when its done, all that hard work and emotion that went into the work, it all absorbs into you all at once and it will do it again and again every time you see it for the rest of your life. Thats how I express what hard work means to the younger demographic... suffer now for a little and enjoy the fruits of your labor for ever.
I was just a small piece of helping him finish his dead sled before SEMA. He was always Mr. Happy because he was truly living his dream. I really miss stopping by the shop and giving him shit.
He was the reason I got into painting his true fire is the best I ever seen god bless from a big fan
R.I.P. Mike Lavallee.

Hours and hours of mileage.
Most of the time being by yourself. You get lost in your work.
True dedication.
Terrible loss.
