About

Brian Walline, artist of The Mighty Mitten as a young boy

The Mighty Mitten is an artist owned & operated studio with one impossible goal: to make unique, high quality, vintage-themed travel posters as colorful and captivating as the State of Michigan itself.

From Copper Harbor to Corktown, I've traipsed all up and down these pleasant peninsulas, and I finally decided that the best way for me to share my obsession with my Great Lakes home was with my own line of original Michigan illustrations.

Whether your idea of "The Mitten" is an endless beach, a Detroit skyscraper, or even just a hand as a map, my shop has everything you need to fill your home with art that lives and breathes Michigan!

Artist & Owner, Brian Walline

Brought some limited edition colorized prints of some pen & ink drawings to @rac.ypsi today due to the overwhelming popularity of snakes and lake litter 😂 As everyone knows, demand for this subject matter is insatiable.

Do you know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are? Anchor chains, airplane motors, and train whistles!

The first of hopefully many pretty drawings of pretty boats 😊

I grew up looking at this one in Elberta, but you can now see it (and board it!) in Manistee. FUN.

Good news, bad news, good news!

Good news! I had a fun coaster set made! It consists of four ceramic coasters, each adorned with a different one of my Michigan travel scenes :-)

Bad News! They didn’t turn out exactly as I’d imagined :-( The colors are good, but as you can see (esp in the last pic) they’ve got some imperfections around the edges — and folks, when it comes to my art I am NOT really about that, haha — Sooo what to do? For now it seems that I’m going to see how they do, but with a lower price than I’d planned.

Good news! They can still make a nice, inexpensive gift that can arrive before Christmas! Just get your orders in by the 13th :-)

Sometimes I’ll pass a sign for a trailhead a hundred times before actually stopping to check it out… sometimes it’s because I’m in a hurry to get where I’m going, or because the trail is just outside town and how beautiful / natural / scenic could it be if it’s practically in town?

Finally made the time to walk some of the trails along the Boardman late this summer and was so, so rewarded 😌

Another new print from earlier this year! I’ve had a lot of folks request something from Lansing (“But not the capital!”) and I thought that Rotary Park along the riverwalk might be a fun place to start, featuring the “Inspiration” sculpture in front of the Grand River, and Wynken, Blynken, and Nod poking up in the background.

Now available in my online shop in 5 ready-to-frame sizes :-) And stay tuned because this won’t be the last Lansing print!

Blue Jay feathers are (in my opinion) some of the best possible feathers to find 😌

I’ve had this print on my mind for a LONG time, and I’m so happy to have finally finished it this summer. I LOVE boathouses 😆
