About Me


..

I am a certified hypno and psychotherapist, writer, inventor, designer, and artist. I rarely sleep and usually don't need more than 3 hours of sleep each night to retain tremendous energy. I also take power naps to regenerate my mind during the day that last no more than 20 minutes using a cloth that was anointed on my forehead that extracts all my creative potential. I am usually in my home office working on design work or in my studio working on a new art collection. When i am not working i am normally out having a good time.
My philosophy on life has changed quite a bit over the years as i get older. I cherish friends and family above all else, and feel the real purpose of existence is to inspire, help, and support others in the best way you know how. I get more pleasure from giving to others less fortunate or in need than i do producing a new work of art, which is saying a lot, since nothing can replace the immense love and connection to the universe i get when creating.


About My Art Style & Approach

My approach, which i termed Unificationism involves the arrangement of color, form, shape, and the involvement of positive and negative contours within the overall composition. When we look at the world from a distance from space, we would conclude from our observations that our world is a complex dynamic of movement, color, shape, and the interaction of all these into one harmonic flow. I approach my works in much the same manner, taking and absorbing everyday life and then subjecting all the complexities and interactions of these object, sounds, and colors, to a universal analysis. I then begin to break down these forms and colors into dynamic relationships within the composition, forming a harmonic flow between these elements generating my approach.

The Inception of Project Genesis

The Genesis Collection for the new Millenium began one night as i was working on my 500 page chess book. I had this revelation of 12 collections of work based around 12 themes of life. I decided to sit down and write down from my point of view what the twelve collections should be as the foundation of this giant collection. I decided on the game of chess, human anatomy, mind, spirit, scientific abstracts, ocean, and the cosmos as the first seven collections. The whole idea of this body of work is to take each important theme of life and dissect and analyze each element within each particular theme and relate it to the creation of life and universe at the very beginnings.

Various Design Clients

I am fortunate and blessed to have great clients such as Omega Chess International(website design and maintenance year round), Argentinian artist Anya Nadal, Renowned Chess Collector Lawrence Totaro (website design for his book, "Fisching for Forgeries" / aslo cover artist for his book), Dennis Steele (founder of ChessManiac.com) and Former World Chess Champion Susan Polgar (work full time for her maintaining and designing her sites), and my latest client, Sofia Polgar, the youngest of the famous hungarian born Polgar sister's, who still holds the highest performance rating in the history of chess by a woman back in 1989 in Rome at the age of 14! (designing her sites and logo).

Philosophy on Life:
Give back as much as you take - learn to humble yourself - learn to love as best you can - treat everyone with respect - set goals and try to tackle at least one ambition or desire you have inside you - put friends and family before work - try to achieve as much balance between work and play - get a hobby too indulge yourself in - inspire others to be the best they can be with generous support and advice - love your parents always - write at least one book before you die on your favorite topic or interest - learn to cook - put children and the elderly first before everyone.
