About Michael Godard

Planet of Peace belongs to Michael Godard's inspirational catalog, a smaller but deeply felt body of work that trades cocktail satire for hope and global unity. An astronaut, dwarfed by the vastness of space, holds out roses rather than tools or flags, an idealistic gesture rendered with the same bold color and confident composition Godard applies to every subject he paints, proof that his visual language can carry weighty, universal themes just as easily as a punch line about martinis.

That inspirational thread in Godard's catalog traces back to a specific and painful turning point in his life. Born March 10, 1963, and raised in Pasadena before settling in Las Vegas, he studied at ArtCenter College of Design and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and spent his twenties as a professional drummer in Las Vegas bands and as an architectural draftsman before turning to fine art full time. His signature style began with a single martini-themed birthday commission, developed during a period when Godard was living in his car to support his children.

Since 2006, following the death of his sixteen-year-old daughter Paige to brain cancer, Godard has channeled a significant part of his energy into causes larger than himself, supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which honored him in 2017, along with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Nevada Cancer Institute, and the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation, regularly visiting hospitals to paint alongside children in treatment. Planet of Peace grows directly out of that same hope for something better beyond personal loss, the astronaut's offered roses standing in for the comfort Michael Godard has tried to give others.

Michael Godard's public career, built on the same bold black backgrounds and saturated color he brings to this more solemn subject, earned him the nickname "Rockstar of the Art World" through television appearances on A&E's Criss Angel's Mindfreak and American Casino, along with collaborations including custom guitar artwork for Guns N' Roses. His 2006 book Don't Drink and Draw was named an Art Book of the Year.

Planet of Peace, quiet and hopeful, sits close to the emotional center of Godard's career, a reminder that the artist known for personified olives and casino humor has also spent nearly two decades turning grief into a message worth painting.

Godard's inspirational works, including ArchAngel, Faith, and Risen, share the same emotional register as Planet of Peace, each one drawn from the same well of hope that followed his daughter's death. Ozzy Osbourne, who wrote the foreword to one of Godard's books, has spoken publicly about similar themes of resilience, and a documentary about Michael Godard's life and career has won awards at multiple independent film festivals, covering both the humor and the heartbreak behind his body of work. His television appearances on A&E's Criss Angel's Mindfreak and American Casino, along with his book Don't Drink and Draw, named an Art Book of the Year in 2006, together show just how far that body of work has traveled beyond a single gallery wall or a single painting. His artwork has also reportedly been placed in a Pentagon officers' lounge and aboard U.S. Navy vessels, settings where a message of unity and hope, the same one Planet of Peace carries into deep space, carries particular weight.
