Mickey Harmon

Mickey Harmon is a Buffalo-based illustrator and graphic designer, co-owner

of the Pine Apple Company gallery on Allen Street, and the chair of

Allentown First Friday Gallery Walk with the Allentown Association. An

active member of Buffalo’s LGBTQ+ scene, much of Harmon’s personal

artwork revolves around themes related to this community.

Illustrating architecture and WNY histories for over 10 years, Mickey has

continued to tell the story of WNY from past to present. Dedicating his

professional illustration career to commission work of homes and buildings

all over the region and beyond. Its through this visual storytelling he dictates

what a sense of place is to the viewer.

A motto has emerged through this visual conquest: “I Live in a City and You

Should, Too! Cities are for People Just Like You!” This was a letterpress

poster he created at WNYBAC in years past, its that sense of place that

matter’s most in Harmon’s work.
