Brian G. Miller

As a child, Brian Miller loved to color and paint. After earning straight smiley-faces in preschool art, he tested into a grade-school gifted program known as Bright ideas, where he quickly earned the nickname "Marker-happy" because of his enthusiasm for that medium (and evidenced by the constant stains on his hands and clothing).

As a teenager, Brian discovered both Macintosh computers and comics and experimented with coloring comic art. he picked up real-world design experience working part-time for magazine publishers and printing companies while studying art at southwest Missouri state university. there, he also met Kristy.

Kristy Miller has degrees in antiquities and secondary education from southwest Missouri state, as well as a master's in museum studies from the university of Kansas. after working and living in various countries throughout the world, Kristy began teaching middle school history and Macintosh computers while Brian worked at an advertising agency.

Brian continued to color comics on the side using various pen names until, in 1998, he walked away from his art director position to start Hi-Fi colour design with Kristy and a group of talented creators. after one too many harsh Missouri winters, Brian and Kristy moved hi-fi to arizona. there, Kristy worked at a museum as director of education until she left her position in 2002 to help Brian run Hi-Fi colour design full-time.

With their first two books, Hi-Fi Color for Comics & Master Digital Color, Brian and Kristy will take you on a journey through various styles of coloring. They hope this is only the start of your great artistic adventure.
