Land of the Story Tellers

Stephen Deck is a writer, artist, and photographer. He has burned through hundreds of art pads in his life, served as a draftsman for Headquarters Company at Fort Dix and on drawing boards at the municipal level. He’s been a writer since day one, and to this very day, his main writing tool is a Nakajima WPT-150 electric typewriter. His art training has been constant devotion over long spans of time, and was groomed and accentuated inside the Art Students League of New York City — he was seated inside those hallow grounds on the mornings when the terrorists attacked. His most proud achievements are his volunteer resume, where time was freely given to mankind: Alaska Fish & Game — fisheries technician; two tours of Central Park of New York City — master hand pruner; American Red Cross — Storm Katrina; WWOOF Italia — farmhand and grapevine pruner in Northern Italy; Newtown shooting — volunteer and artistic emotional support; and ten years trying to solve the murder of Holly Piirainen with my spin on things, which failed.
