Martin and his dog

About Me

My name is Martin Kumor. I live in beautiful Vancouver Canada with my wife Mary and my two basset hounds Larsen and Ninja. I graduated from University of Toronto with a degree in Computer Science and Philosophy. For the last twelve years I have worked in CG related fields of gaming, education, and entertainment. I have enjoyed computer graphics ever since elementary school, when I first started to meddle with writing simple games and graphic apps for my old Atari 800xl. So, now you know where CG from CGNinja comes from.

Now about ninjas... My fascination with ninjas comes from growing up watching hordes of ninja movies. They were my favorite form of entertainment, and I could not get enough. Later they inspired me to take several martial arts, and stage combat courses. Profesionally they gave me ideas when directing motion capture shoots. As for the rationalization: How can you not like ninjas? They are disciplined, skilled, and remarkably effective... all admirable traits in any walk of life.
