Michael Ordway

Realism is my art, and cyberspace is my canvas.

My core craft is 3D artwork — whether it's photorealistic architectural recreations, or concept images to tease excitement about new projects. Through my images I communicate ideas and sell concepts, informing their very shape at every stage. Standout presentation takes stunning design, and my job is to make that happen for you.

I’ve also been teaching college classes for nearly a decade; my favorite courses, by far, are History of Animation and History of Game Design. I make a point to have fun in class, but I’m always looking to get my students industry exposure as early as possible — even if sometimes a networking event is also PAX East. (Fun fact: you might think of Toy Story for pioneering computer-generated film, but did you know that a French studio called Fantome aired an entire CG series the year before?)

In my free time I work on Transmissions, a nerd-culture podcast network that focuses on Transformers and other '80s cartoons. My own show, Empire of Rust, is a Transformers themed actual play gaming podcast that my friends and I play. It gets edited down to the best parts and published bi-monthly.
