About Christopher Scalici


I was born in 1979 in Bellmore, Long Island, NY to Jack and Diane Scalici. I have
an older brother (Jack) and a younger sister (Ann Marie), making me the middle child. As
a kid, my favorite memories were of an erector set, construx, loc blocs, cliffhanger electric
cars, clay, crayons, a tool set, a chemistry kit, sand castles, snow forts, and video games. I
always liked building and helping my dad around the house and under the hood. I attended
Saw Mill Road Elemantary School (1985-1991), Grand Avenue Junior High School (1991-1993),
Wellington C. Mepham High School (1993-1997), and Rochester Institute of Technology (1997-2001).
During this time I've been a lawn-mower, leaf-raker, babysitter, construction helper, cake decorator,
store manager, pizza deliveryman, and pool guy.

Where am I now and what am I doing? I'm currently 30 years old, married, living in Boston, and
working as a medical illustrator/animator. I'm pretty much what you'd expect me to be. I
always loved to build, draw, model, mix chemicals, and play video games and that is exactly
what I do now ... kind of. Instead of blocks, metal, wood, screws, and clay, I create models
in a digital 3D environment (3ds Max), then I use my crayons (Photoshop), and/or my video
games (After Effects) and it is all based on my chemistry (medical training). I don't draw art,
I build it. I'm the senior animator for art director and acclaimed medical illustrator Bert Oppenheim
at ArgosyMedical.com, and I work alongside Kevin Brennan (the walking human anatomy atlas and
knowledge base of random facts) and Joe Gorman (a huge personality and even better photoshop artist).
We each contribute something unique and complement each others' talents. Like most people I spend
the majority of my time Mon-Fri in the office and that is where I do my best work.
