In October of 1998 at the age of 20, Michael Manuel Cardona, skater, artist, friend to many left our world to move on to the next. We will always remember him for the kindness he brought into our lives, for his smile which could melt polar icecaps, and as one of those rarely gifted individuals who made a difference in other people's lives.

Michael suffered from a disease which is misunderstood by most, and often misdiagnosed. Schizophrenia occurs in 1 out of 100 people, and is a very debilitating illness. Through it all he always had is artwork and talent, and the love of those who knew him.

His art is presented here as a tribute to him, his talent, and his spirit. Michael, we miss you bro.
