What do a snowman with a wine bottle, a baker flying on a measuring cup and a creepy, hollow-eyed businessman all have in common?
Michael Micinilio.
For the past decade and a half, Micinilio’s been illustrating New Haven chalkboards with such strange, playful characters. Patrons of BAR or the nearby shop The Wine Thief have likely seen his work, since he’s been chalking sections of their walls for 14 and 10 years now, respectively. He’s also begun decorating the back wall of the new Flour Flours bakery on Chapel Street, which may be the start of his next chalky “marriage” in the city.
