Art Director and Staff Writer Richard Tornello
Rick always had an interest in Art. He studied at The Art Students League in NYC years ago and dropped out to meet responsibilities of a family. He continued to keep and interest in art and science fiction as well as pick up a degree in History and Asian Studies from Rutgers University. A couple of years ago he began taking drawing classes at a local college, after a 40 year hiatus, so he could possibly begin illustrating some of his children’s poems for a book for his grandchildren; if possible get it published and distributed as a free book for disadvantaged areas.
He has been collecting art for over 30 years, and writing science fiction, fantasy stories and poetry for just under 10 years. Art and writing came together when he was asked to assist the Editor of Quantum Muse as the Art Director. Every month his tasks are to identify and get different artists to allow the ZINE to display a few of their pieces.
