Not a minute to spareRight now I have some opportunities to be a part of some video projects that will consume much of my time but will be - as I expect - a good learning experience and very beneficial to the direction I am heading.
Will keep updates as they come along.

| Short Bio After the rise of Gaius Julius Caesar, our family fled to the ocean villages of Epirus, where I began to apprentice making nets and trapping. It was there that I found my passion for the easel and I met a beautiful woman; Ioannina. To me, she was the quintessential Greek Goddess - olive skin, full hips............oh wait, thats not my story. Me? Well I grew up near Dayton, Ohio at the end of an era - the hayday of the General Motors industrial bonanza that kept this region alive economically. Now it is like the red headed stepchild of Detroit - full of poverty and despair. I moved to Florida in the 70's and spent most of my childhood growing up there. One of my biggest influences in my youth that shaped my thinking was Walt Disney. I idolized his theme parks and grew to want to be original the way he did. My talent has really been tucked away all these years. I always knew I was artistic but formed early ideas that there was a lot of other talented people in the world and that the competition would be fierce. So instead of pursuing art I ended up doing other things that I was good at, but not nearly as passionate about. I lived the mundane average life, but now I feel I am on the right track. Here's to the love of art, creativity, and imagination. Ben Some of my personal quotes: -I could have had a much easier existence if Walt Disney had made himself dictator over America, but then I would have nothing to compare a theme park to. -Simplicity is the best design to get us through our day and complexity should be reserved for sports and leisure pursuits. -The first thing I noticed in my adolescence was that someone had apparently greased the rungs of my ladder to success. -Changing the past cannot be accomplished by destroying the future. |

“There is a tremendous sensual-sexual expression in art and I feel that energy is often...’the driving force?’ " —Kate Bush, 1978
