CD-ROM Pact Reached

Graphix Zone, an Irvine company that publishes CD-ROMs featuring famous performers such as Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, said it has entered an agreement with ICM, one of Hollywood’s top talent agencies.

Kip Konwiser, vice president of entertainment at Graphix Zone, said the company hopes the deal will lead to more CD-ROM ventures with well-known entertainers represented by ICM.

ICM, based in Beverly Hills, was behind Graphix Zone’s recent Willie Nelson CD-ROM, said Stefanie Henning, an agent in ICM’s interactive division. “We’re going to help them build out their entertainment line of products,” she said.

Graphix Zone’s CD-ROMs typically feature biographical information on performers, as well as pictures and samples of their work.
