director and painter.
He is also a superb photographer with a divine gift for shooting erotica. Along
with his partner, Mandy, he recently launched the website MikeAndMandy.com

from fetish to fine art to vintage to MILF's to naked midgets. It's
for porn connoisseurs with just about any taste.
Michael

in Brooklyn. His affinity for high-profile success started when he
was made senior designer for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. He then
went on to work as Art Director for such publications

and National Lampoon.
As a partner in the graphic design firm Pellegrini, Kaestle, and Gross his
clients included Merrill Lynch, Jim Henson, Simon and Schuster, Random
