Hi, I'm Mike Matas.
I started designing user interfaces and drawing digital artwork when I was in high school, doing consulting jobs and working for a small software company called The Omni Group. After high school my friend Wil Shipley and I started Delicious Monster, a software company that created a media cataloging app called Delicious Library. A couple of years later I went to work at Apple where I designed user interfaces and artwork for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X. Since leaving Apple I've been working on an exciting new project that will be released later this year. If you're a developer in the bay area and are interested in working with me send me an email.
My photos are taken using a Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR and a range of different lenses. You can check out what lens I used to take each photo on this site by clicking the "Lens" link at the bottom of each photo. The photos are post-processed using Aperture and Photoshop.
