Mike Riley Biography

Mike Riley is one of the most popular and richest Cartoonist who was born on October 22, 1975 in Baltimore, Baltimore, United States. Mike Riley (born October 22, 1975) is an American cartoonist and comic book writer currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. He is best known as the creator of the single-panel webcomic I Taste Sound and the comic series Irregulordz.

The series uses a limited pallet with shades of purple and grayscale. Puzzles, games and mazes are interspersed throughout the story and the covers are often unconventional, featuring abstract imagery, tessellations and optical illusions in support of the surreal themes. In an interview with Dan Keech, Riley revealed that the three main characters originally appeared in separate I Taste Sound panels, between 2010 and 2011.

I Taste Sound launched on April Fools’ Day 2010. It was originally updated daily then moved to a semi-weekly format. The site was on hiatus from December 21, 2012 until June 2013 when weekly posts resumed. Riley explains that the comics, drawn with a tablet and stylus, began as a distillation of the humorous elements contained in his paintings. Riley sites the work of Ben Edlund as early comic inspiration. A letter from Riley appears in the first printing of the second issue of Edlund’s original comic book series The Tick. He also sites 80’s animation and the television being on all day as influences.

At the 2012 Baltimore Comic-Con Riley sponsored an unsuccessful campaign to make Hira-Shuriken Maryland’s Official State Throwing-Star, distributing literature on the topic and collecting signatures for eventual submission to the Office of the Governor of Maryland.

Riley founded the Lo-Fi Social Club gallery and performance space in Baltimore’s Station North Arts and Entertainment District in September 2007. The club hosted numerous emerging musicians including Dan Deacon, Parts & Labor, The Death Set, Wye Oak and Matt & Kim before ceasing operations in Spring of 2009. Upon Lo-Fi’s closing, Riley transitioned the space into a volunteer-run, nonprofit art collective known as The Hexagon continuing to organize art exhibitions and feature local and touring musicians. The club was one of only two such venues in the United States to publicly boycott music licensed by ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.
