His ability to bring the auditory artistry of music together with the visual artistry of paintings and sculpture is one of the things that makes Michael D Johnson a unique artist. As his persona DJ PupLuv•theARTIST, Johnson brings to life his love of music through songwriting and music production. At his Concept Seven Art Studio on Bluffton Road in Fort Wayne, Johnson illustrates his soulful view of the world through a variety of art platforms. Johnson started drawing at a early age, before he was talking. Early in school, his talents were very apparent to his teachers and family. Johnson’s artistic journey led him to Atlanta, where he worked on his craft, learning art through trial and error. But Johnson calls Fort Wayne home, having returned to the city over a decade ago to pursue his passion for art and to be with family.
