Digital Chameleon was a comic book coloring and inking studio based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. They have countless credits for a variety of publishers, and are attributed with being the first studio to make the use of the computer software program Adobe PhotoShop widespread in the comics industry.[1] In addition to their work in the comics field, Digital Chameleon also coloured animation, CD covers, posters, magazines, and advertisements.

History

The company was formed in 1991, by Christopher Chuckry (President), and Lovern Kindzierski (Vice-President, Creative Director), with partners Ed Beddome, Tim Riddoch and Dick Thomas. Colorists at Digital Chameleon included Kindzierski, Laurie E. Smith, George Freeman, Bernie Mireault, and Carla Feeney.[2] Partner Beddome left the company in 1993, and co-founder Chuckry left the company in 1996. After Chuckry's departure, Kindzierski acted as president[3] and Freeman as art director.[4] After Freeman left, Igor Kordey was the studio's art director.

Digital Chameleon closed its doors in 2003.
