Mickie Quick is old Aussie slang for 'a quick getaway’; as in, “struth… we nearly nabbed him but he’s gone and done a Mickie Quick on us!” Mickie has revived the term as a pseudonymn for his art-activist activities. He has been doing "street art" in a wide variety of forms since the early nineties, from liberating billboards to doing all sorts of public pranks. For money, he does freelance design, exhibition installation, set-building and prop making.

He is the founder of the Zine-o-matic, (a zine vending machine), and the BubbleVision MobileMuseum, (the exhibition space in a perspex bubble on top of his mini panel van). He is co-founder of SquatSpace, (the political artist group), the Network of UnCollectable Artists (NUCA), (responsible for the bubblegum cards of Australia's 50 Most UnCollectable Artists), The Big Fag Press, (an offset printing press salvaged from a liquidation auction), and Sydney, (the artist run space in Surry Hills). Mickie is one of the guerrillas on Channel Ten's Guerrilla Gardeners.
