Storm Talifero

Film-Maker, Artist, Animator, Raw Food Guru

<p>I started drawing as a child in inner-city Detroit where I escaped from the grim industrial complex in to wolds of fantasy, nature, and beauty through doing pencil drawings.&nbsp;</p> <p>I began to sell artwork to the local underground element, and was supported and encouraged by this early success. I was artist-in-residence at Concept East Repertory Theatre and developed a love for multi-media, story-telling and performance arts.</p> <p>I later studied graphic arts, animation and special effects in California. I illustrated The Bridge Dancers and won Outstanding Emerging Illustrator of the Year from Gale Research. The book was later distributed by Mc-Graw Hill.</p> <p>I was a videographer and producer for several projects with Gerry Spence and The Trial Lawyers College.</p> <p>I did some work as a 1-man studio on location shoots for BET (Black Entertainment Television) and got to work with Tyler Perry, Blair Underwood, and Lynn Whitfield.</p> <p>I was Executive Director of the Santa Barbara Arts Council, did video work for The Ventura Board of Education, and produced commercials and investor kiosks for dot-com start-ups.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am also a raw vegan educator, raw food chef, retreat leader, coach and trainer as co-founder of The Garden Diet at <a href="http://TheGardenDiet.com">http://TheGardenDiet.com</a></p> <p>Recently I have illustrated two children's books I'm really excited about at:</p> <p><a href="http://TheProblemwithUnicorns.com">http://TheProblemwithUnicorns.com</a>&nbsp;and</p> <p><a href="http://ThoughtsofTrees.com">http://ThoughtsofTrees.com</a></p> <p>I'm also an Architectural Designer (sorry, I was a perennial student and went to college for 15 years and had to keep thinking of more things to learn....) and my ideas for green building are up here:</p> <p><a href="http://StormTalifero.com">http://StormTalifero.com</a>&nbsp;and <a href="http://CustomGreenLiving.com">http://CustomGreenLiving.com</a></p> <p>My Raw Blog is here: <a href="http://RawVeganWarrior.com">http://RawVeganWarrior.com</a></p> <p>And my Summer Camp is up here: <a href="http://JadeForestFoundation.org">http://JadeForestFoundation.org</a></p> <p>Thanks for reading!</p> <p>Storm</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
