Brief introduction

Mike Badger is an artist and musician from Liverpool who has been creatively active for more than 30 years.

Founder of the ‘Brit Pop’ forerunners: The La’s and Sculptor to Liverpool band Space for their hit album ‘Tin Planet’.
His reclaimed sculptures can be loosely classified between the Retro-Futurist and Steam Punk movements: in Badger’s universe the left overs from the human industrial machine are reinterpreted and then reassembled giving new life in the form of Robots, UFO’s and flying ‘space cruiser’ cars. (Inspired by 1950’s B Movies).

In 2015 Mike Badger joined the new art revolution by taking part in the “Scan And Make for Art” project, with the production of some original pieces specifically projected for 3D printing and Laser Cutting, these will be available to our customers to download and make!
