My college sent me stickers. So, what’s the natural thing to do? Add them to my other stickers on my computer! 😊

#wip on the easel right now. 36in x 36in. Taking some advice from Timothy Van Laar and trying to paint something way out of my normal scale. . . #umassdcvpa #umassdartmouth #byuiart #portrait #painting #oilpainting #oil #contemporaryart #modernart #modernportrait #workinprogress #figure #figurativeart #portraitpainting (at The Star Store)

Last of my notes from #generalconference today. Thinking a little about how I’m feeling with my responsibilities in life. I want to get closer to God. #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #churchofjesuschristart #mikelaughead #byuiart #byuiartdept #byuiartdepartment #idahofallsartist (at Idaho Falls, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQtwh4jvo4/?igshid=17d1e7tm7k8sy

I have been thinking lately about the power of being part of a group and the strength we get from that. I love being a part of so many groups! My family, my church, being an artist, a CCAD alum and former professor and now a BYU-I alum and professor, an Argentina soccer fan, a Lord of the Rings fan, a cartoon watcher... I feel strength and connection from all of these groups. I love all of you! Feeling a sense of belonging is so important in life. Please, seek out a connection to your groups! Feel at one with some other people. It’s quite a stress reliever. 😁 #mikelaughead #churchofjesuschristart #byuiart #ccadillustration #groupsupport #loveforall (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCuMiWSDfy5/?igshid=ru5d7zopgm4q

I want to say a big thank you to the Columbus College of Art & Design. I came here in 2011 as a graduate student and I’m sad to say my time teaching here is at an end! I’ve accepted a teaching position at BYU-Idaho, where got my BFA and where I met my wonderful wife, Candace. I am going to miss CCAD and Columbus so much. You have been so wonderful to me and my family. I can’t imagine being part of a better group of people. And with things so difficult in the world right now, I’m confident that the faculty and staff I have known for 9 years will continue to create an accepting and kind environment for our students. I am so sad to leave! I wish I could have a huge get together to see everyone, just know that you are all in my heart!
