Hi, I am Mike.
I think of myself as a CG generalist, with working knowledge of modeling, animation, lighting, compositing and special effects. I do a bit of freelancing Blender work. My art work has been published in 4 books and shown at SIGGRAPH 2007. I also do a bit of digital photography when I am not busy playing with computers.
I am currently involved with a marine ecosystem visualization project at the University of British Columbia in Canada. As a visualization specialist, I work with a small team to tell a visual story of our fragile aquatic ecosystem. Dalai Felinto and I presented a small part of our work at the 2008 Blender Conference in Amsterdam.
