Robert Mickelsen is a surfer, a glassblower and a resident of Melbourne Beach, Florida. A native of Hawaii, he says that at the age of 42, married and the father of two sons, he has adjusted comfortably to the smaller and more manageable Florida waves. Computer graphics is a nocturnal hobby for Michelsen, whose days are occupied with his own glassblowing business, where he makes art vessels for sale to art galleries nationally. For Mickelsen, the computer is a toy and computer art is strictly for fun, recreation rather than serious creation. He has been raytracing for less than two years.
