This month, we put the spotlight on portrait artist Mike Cannistraro, also known as Canman!  Mike (Canman) Cannistraro and his wife Angela own Visions Tattoo, Piercing & At Gallery which has been in business for 16 years here in Medway. Canman has been tattooing for 25 years and is an accomplished acrylic/oil painter.

I’m inspired by my daily interactions with the visual world around me. Social issues and human emotional states find their way into my work as well.

 I found enjoyment in creating art from an early age. I learned from working various dead-end jobs as a teen that a career in art is where I would find the most satisfaction.
