| Mick Szirmay:
"My artist background spans decades. after graduating
college in 1981 with an Electronics degree in satellite
Communications I spent the next 10 years developing my
skills as a commercial artist. A comic book fan my whole
life, I spent every available moment drawing my favorite
comic book heroes Spiderman and Ironman. I also dabbled
in 3D modeling the old fashioned way, in clay and plastic.
One fateful day a close friend of mine introduced me to
the Macintosh computer and from that moment on I knew
where my destiny lie. Happily married to the lovely Judy
and father to two beautiful daughters Chrissy and Katie
I poured my spare time into learning how to draw on the
computer which was certainly a different animal. A year
later I landed a gig as the artist for an educational
software company where I learned every facet of software
development. My decade long career as a drummer for a
rock band led to the opportunity to write and record music
for the software titles as well. My strength’s lie in
conceptual design, creating visually stunning and yet
intuitive interfaces. I landed a major contract to design
an interface for a series of CD ROM titles for Discovery
Channel. My passion for comic book character design has
fueled my fire since I was a kid and when I met the extremely
talented Mike Merryweather, a fellow CG Artist, my dream
had begun." |

"My artist background spans decades as well. after
graduating grade 1 in 1981, received top honors in Lego
and building blocks. Soon after, my interests turned to
computers when I achieved the top score in Asteroids.
Once I learned to read, I began to collect comics and
fell in love with the many worlds I was swept into. My
eye for the 3D world, thirst for technology and passion
for comics lead me to a Diploma in 3D Graphics and Animation
in 1995. An avid athlete, I met my future wife, Lori on
the volleyball court. We’ve been married for three years
and have a beautiful daughter named Nike. Nike, a Border
Collie, Ridgeback cross, received her namesake when she
ate three pairs of shoes in her first 24 hours with us.
Lori is an acupuncturist and personal trainer, she keeps
me running smoothly! I met Mick in 1995. A great person
and supremely talented artist, Mick is my mentor in both
life and art. I am truly blessed to be this close to my
dreams at this stage in my life." |
