Micheal Parks Email and Phone Number

I’m a creator who has had the good fortune to work in many media, including fine art painting, sculpting, computer animation and visual effects, film-making, and construction. To all of these endeavors, I’ve brought an artist’s sensibility—a commitment to aesthetics, proportion, precision and craftsmanship—for the purpose of harmonizing form and function. My first company-- Xplore Designs—was devoted to excellence in any medium, from advertising and graphic design to mechanical engineering. I built my own foundry and produced finished bronze sculptures and functional objects. I produced advertising and illustrations for oil companies and other clients. Prompted by the 1979 oil embargo, I turned my attention to alternative energy, designing and building perhaps the first earth-cooled, passive solar house in Louisiana. In the late 1980s I became interested in the then-new technology, computer animation. I apprenticed as a computer animator at Digital Artworks, in Eugene, OR, before co-forming the Wallace Parks Creative agency in Portland. Our clients included many big names, such as Adidas, AMC Entertainment, Freightliner, and country duo Brooks & Dunn.I then went to Hollywood, where I was a key character animator for major motion pictures such as Star Trek: Insurrection, An American Werewolf in Paris, and Paulie the Parrot, among others, before co-founding a 3D software company, Mayim, LLC. Mayim developed the leading technology for 3-D streaming on the web…just in time for the dot.com bubble burst. I returned to construction, where I have been for the last 12 years—focusing my artist’s sensibility again on the creation of 3-D environments big enough to live in—and beautiful enough to inspire.
