Artist Michael Temple is perhaps best known as Mike Tempo, the creator and percussionist of the popular band the Bonedaddys.
Mike started painting when he was just a child. His father loved to paint-usually images from photographs in oil on canvas board. Family and Navy and National Geographic pictures supplied him with all the subject matter he needed.
Temple graduated Kansas City Art Institute with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking in 1972. His work has been exhibited in Kansas City, New Orleans, and Los Angeles.
After moving to Los Angeles in 1977, his musical art brought in more money when he performed with the worldbeat band The Bonedaddys since 1984. Though music has always been a part of his creative life and will continue to be so, Temple’s art is now his main focus. Michael will share the exhibition with his longtime frie
nd and artist/musician Moris Tepper.
