I’m totally fascinated by mythology, so naturally I’m a fan of Joseph Campbell! But I never would have come across him if I hadn’t been blown away by Star Wars. George Lucas truly is one of my heroes. Not only did he create the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series, he also founded a number of companies that changed cinema forever. Jung also takes my interest, I’m very interested in symbols and archetypes.
I’m also a big fan of the Internet and how it evolves. I’ve been a member of Bowienet. By the way his seventies work is amazing!
Some of my other favorite subjects are: religion, androgyny, love, death, God, the metropolis, the body, the cyborg, the ghetto, and so on....

WRITING
I've decided to take a small detour from writing my fantasy novel and take on the challenge to write a non-fiction book in one month. And I'm going to do it while being online. I think through careful planning this must be achieveable. Maybe I'll never get there, but it will be an interesting experience nonetheless!
