I run a small company in Concord and we hired Michael and AKcUracy$ LLC to paint a mural on an office wall. He was great to work with and did a fantastic job. Our entire team loves the new inspiring artwork and Michael made me look like a genius for having an idea and calling him. I highly recommend AKcUracy$!! MIKE T.

Michael did a mural for an indoor doggie rescue park. The mural was over 270' x 11'6" with a ceiling of over 2800 sq ft. He did a beautiful fantasy forest that was better then we could have hoped for. Michael was collaborative throughout and finished a fantastic work of art for us. I would highly recommend him. I have attached a before and after picture of the mural. It is incredible. No project too big : )

I had the pleasure of working with this artist and he was nothing but amazing. I gave him my vision and he made it a reality. He’s was very prompt in his responses. I reached out to him late Sunday and he was here to do the job Monday morning, that was expedited service to me. I love his free spirit and willing to make his customer happy. I love my first piece.
