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 is the fourth episode with the phenomenal 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 calculation, not hers)!
Over the course 4 hours in 2021, we had an in-depth and very wide ranging conversation. If you have not listened to the first three, do yourself a favour and check them out as well. In this episode we talk a lot about what makes Myriam tick as an artist, and how she thinks about her work as a texture artist.
Myriam shares her experience in how to structure her texture work on an asset. She goes back in time and passes advice to her beginner self - how decoupling her thinking mind from her intuitive mind helps her not get stuck in her head. And it turns out that walking are simply a great part of an artist's arsenal of tools!
Myriam is a fantastic artist, who's work and interests reach far beyond VFX.Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Myriam also does:

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
Eagerly back for the second slice of my conversation with the world's most famous texture artist, Adam Capone.This is the part I really wanted to explore:
When you have an artist, or you yourself have a period in your life, where you are outrageously creative, and then it changes? What happens? What causes it? Where does it go? What does it feel like for the artist in question?
Adam was a wildly creative maverick when I first met him. Over the years he has changed into something completely different. He still has a large personal output of art projects, but the subject matter and the nature of them are night and day different.
What happened?
Trying to uncover that, we work our way around a lot of topics that influence, shape and motivate artists.
As artists we strive for perfection. But “perfection” is rarely available to us in the commercial world...
Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Adam does on the side:

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
Do you know Adam Capone? Probably not. He quietly goes about his work as an artist in games development. He definitely doesn't seek out the limelight. Which is odd, as he is probably the world's most famous texture artist!
I had the good fortune to meet Adam when we were both studying at University of Teesside for a career in games and 3D art. I easily count him as the most creative person I have ever met – which says something after all these years working as an artist. To me, he is the next Tim Burton, we never had. So I am both very interested in what he gets up to, as well as excited to present him to you.
This is the first slice of a three and a half hour long conversation. Naturally we are easing into the conversation here in the first episode, as two friends catching up, but we keep exploring more and more serious issues as the interview progresses.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
The catastrophe has not been called off. Yet. The Hollywood strikes are resolved, supposedly. But obviously it will take time to rebuild what the drought has destroyed. Hiring has started again as a trickle here and there. But the whole “strikes are over and now everybody go back to work” was of course never going to materialise. So most people out there are still hurting.
This period, in the VFX industry's history, has been a grim reminder that we are living in a house of cards. Many, if not all, artists have had to have some serious reflection on their career, and what their future will look like.
You know I am a huge fan of Chris Nichols. Not only because of his texture work and his passion for our art and craft – but also because he is such a grounded yet thought-provoking person to speak to. This perfectly fits with the times we are living through.
This episode, I count as my most personal yet. Listening, and re-listening to my conversation with Chris has brought a lot of aha-moments and paradigm shifts for me personally. We talk a lot about our experiences being artists, and how that relates to jobs, studios and even hiring other artists.
I hope this can be as instructive and helpful for you too, as it has been for me.

This is the final episode from my conversation with Claudia Marvisi, texture supervisor from Pixomondo. Claudia explains how she ended up picking texturing out of all the disciplines of the VFX pipeline; We also talk discrimination in the workplace, what the future will hold for texture artists, and Claudia explains what makes a good texture artist great.
Lots of practical advice and observations that we can all benefit from in our careers as working artists.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
These are grim times. More than half of the good people in the film industry are without work these days. If that includes you too, you are certainly not alone. Speak up and share your pain with your friends and former colleagues.
We need some “comfort food for artists.” Chris Nichols and I continue our conversation, where we discuss many of the things working artists obsess over: burn out, coming up with new and believable looks for creatures that never existed in the real world and many more things.
It is my hope that you will learn a lot of useful stuff, and maybe even be entertained for the next 48 minutes, so as to forget the difficult situation outside of our control.

I am proud to present none other than Claudia Marvisi.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiamarvisi/
Claudia has risen through the ranks of Pixomondo, where she today serves as texture supervisor. I first came across her on an online presentation called An Asset is Born, where she spoke intelligently about texturing and more. And so her name promptly entered my mental notebook as someone I'd like to discuss textures with now and in the future.Recently Claudia graciously gave me over 2 hours of her time; where we discussed everything from balancing the demands of being a team lead and supervisor to occasionally satisfying her own individual needs as an artist. Yep, she is a dragon fan as well – and with her impressive work on House of the Dragon, she has entered herself into the pantheon of texture artists battling it out for best dragon of all time.
There will of course be multiple episodes from this conversation. Here we are just getting warmed up. Make sure you check all of them out.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
Our conversation with Chris Nichols continues, as we both dip into the depths of facing unemployment, despite being an incredibly talented texture and creature artist, as well as the highs of finding inspiration and joy from the watching the work of creature heavyweights like Gino Acevedo.
Chris is easily one of my favourite guests on this show, and you will no doubt agree. He has a wealth of skills and experience, and he doesn't hold back from sharing even the gritty stuff.

I am so happy to bring Chris Nichols to The Naked Texture Artist. He is definitely most famous for painting the textures of Thanos for Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, but more than that, he is truly an artist's artist. His passion for creature work and cinema is infectious and reminds us, that no matter how successful we are, we are all just fans at the end of the day.
Over the course of more than 3 hours, we had an in-depth and very wide ranging conversation. There will be many, many episodes from that conversation, but as Chris is sharing some really awesome stuff, and very freely so, I deliberately want to keep them short, so his gems do not slip through the cracks of a longer session. Make sure you check all of them out.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
I am excited to present this, the first episode with my good friend Manuel Huertas Marchena.
I met Manuel a million years ago, when we worked on Deadpool together. He was already doing amazing hero work back then. More than that, he quickly became my favourite ex-colleague, with whom I discuss all of the big, small and everything in between things relating to our craft and our industry. This episode is taken from a recording we did 2 years ago.
