Mike Tesch: Ad Man or Artist?

The answer?  Both!!

You might remember the award winning ad campaign that put FedEx on the map, "When it absolutely, positively, has to be there overnight."  We have Mike Tesch to thank for that clever TV spot.  We can also applaud Mike Tesch for his involvement in some very memorable Dunkin Donuts and Tonka Toys ad campaigns.



Tesch has won over 500 awards and was voted to ADWEEKS All American Creative Team.  His work can be seen in the Smithsonian Institute and more recently, his work has become available to the public!  His artwork that is!  

Three of Tesch's abstract paintings - each 36"x36" - available for purchase.

After his departure from the advertising world, Mike Tesch picked up his paintbrushes and seemingly never put them down.  His abstracts have been exhibited at galleries in Wynwood (Miami) as well as Art Basel Miami. His affinity for Folk Art can be seen in some of his pieces and more recently, his love for animals has manifested in his newest company endeavor: TeschPets.  You send him a photo of your beloved pet, and he paints it! 




In addition to TeschPets, some of his works have become available to the public - and they're moderately priced!  You can now own a piece of original "Mad Man" art!  If you're interested, you can contact Billie Vilano Taylor at billievilano@gmail.com for more info.
