ISSUE ZERO: MIKE SHEARD, COFFEE TIME MURAL NINJA

There's a lot I could say about Mike Sheard. Aside from the issues that all artists have, i.e. delusions of grandeur, fits of laughter, feverish coffee drinking, Mike also has a unique gift...the ability to spend all night in a Coffee Time, and not join the legions of the damned by sunrise. He has used this down-right phenominal super-power to create a mural at the outright funhouse that is the Lansdowne and Bloor Coffee Time. Now, some might look at this piece, and say, "Wow Mike, that's a really big cup of coffee you painted."
But I look at it and see something compeating with the place in my heart strickly dedicated for Godzilla, which almost got Mike killed the other night when I thought of it that way. I let him live. Why?
Because he does great work, and will toil through the night to get the job done. He is but one of several artists We here at Issue Zero represent.
Contact us through ISSUEZERO@GMAIL.COM for Mr. Sheard's availability.
ISSUE ZERO IS PROUD TO LET MIKE CONTINUE HIS WORK (or live) DISPITE HIS ARROGANT ATTEMPTS TO SUPERSEED GODZILLA.
