Every thought has a frequency !!! Steve Jobs Epitaph – Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish and Follow Your Heart. Steve Jobs commencement address at Stanford University in 2005 could well have been his epitaph six years before his untimely death at 56 years old. His message was simple but profound for in 15 minutes he connected the dots of his humble beginnings as an orphaned child through his extraordinary success and failures of his adult years to his final confrontation with death, but always his message was clear ~ Stay hungry, Stay foolish and Follow your heart Most people are afraid of dying because they are afraid of the incompleteness of their lives; they have settled for making money over making a difference, they have been careful and never taken the risk of failing or looking foolish and they have not followed their heart, settling for less than themselves and, as such, never fully experiencing themselves.

Art of Interpretation - Gallery of Blender 3D Digital Artworks and Other Creations of Robert J. Tiess. Welcome to my website! I am a multimedia artist and poet who enjoys exploring a wide variety of subjects, metaphors, and interpretations - especially in the exciting and virtually boundless realms of digital art, writing, and music. My visual works span a growing number of styles and themes, from classical and renaissance painting and sculpture influences to science fiction, futuristic, toon/anime/manga, abstract, impressionism, expressionism, photorealism, surrealism, bio-mechanical, experimental, minimalism, humor, mythology, music, astronomy, philosophy, psychology, literature, spiritual and Biblical themes, history, fine art, and more. Blender, an opensource 3D program, is the software tool I use to create these digital visuals. When necessary, I also use GIMP for basic post-processing (cropping, resizing, color adjustments).
