The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
This episode is the first of many with the one and only Myriam Catrin, The Dragon Lady, who for multiple decades have created textures and looks for some of cinema's most memorable assets in modern times. Myriam is absolutely one of the world's very best texture artists (my words, not hers)!
Over the course 4 hours in 2021, we had an in-depth and very wide ranging conversation. In this episode we talk about her beginnings as an artist; growing up drawing inspiration from cinema; the moment she decided to pursue this vocation; as well as her “pilgrimage” to the birthplace of VFX, working alongside her heroes at ILM in San Francisco.
Myriam is a fantastic artist, who's work and interests reach far beyond VFX.
