ABOUT

Welcome to Brush & Bytes

Mike Tapia

I am Mike Tapia, an interactive creative based in Houston, TX, and the purpose of Brush & Bytes is to empower artists and creatives in their online digital journey. 

I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that arise in the intersection of being an artist and the technical know-how to survive a digital world. Having started as an illustrator and designer before going to school, I quickly transitioned into the newfound world (back then) of web design, where I started my 20+ year career in Web Administration and Marketing Operations. 

This website is dedicated to providing valuable insights, tips, and resources that will help you thrive as an artist in the digital age.

Whether you’re a digital illustrator exploring new techniques or a traditional painter looking to navigate the online art world, Brush & Bytes is here to support you every step of the way.
