Mike Cable, (Miy-K Kay-bel; born June 17th 1965) is an American photographer who lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. He is known under the alias Apainterinahurry (a painter in a hurry) and Jakery Ferret.

Born in Plattsburgh NY, Cable is known for his abstract artwork that focuses on local areas in the Eastern Shore. His work focuses on finding the unusual in the usual and going beyond the rule of thirds.

Education
After serving in the air force, Cable earned an associates degree from Hudson Valley Community and later a bachelors degree from Salisbury University in exercise science.

Photography
