We'd love to hear from you. Send us a text!
The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.
Welcome to the sixth and penultimate slice from my conversation with the Dragon Lady. In this part I finally bring up the reason I wanted to talk to her: Is Myriam Catrin the world’s best texture artist?
Her work speaks for itself, but more than ability and talents, it is Myriam’s humanity that make her one of the great and truly special artists. I am sure you will agree, when you have listened to her take on all the greatness talk.
There is no sunshine without occasional darkness: Myriam shares a very personal episode, where her work broke her and how she managed to steer herself back to health again.
If you want to know the innerworkings of one of the best texture artists in VFX today, the highs and the lows, Myriam shares very generously and fearlessly of her experience.
Enjoy!
Myriam is a fantastic artist, who's work and interests reach far beyond VFX.
