About Us
Ron Spezial - Writer
Ron started by falling down. By the age of twenty, he was writing, performing, and lecturing on physical comedy. He was known to do a 10-foot bellyflop onto a hardwood floor. He simultaneously studied fine arts at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Creating art is and always will be a lifelong passion. Ron cherishes telling stories in paint, wood, and stone.
After living abroad and studying mosaics from world masters, Ron married and was blessed with two sons. His children inspired him to weave fantastic tales. As the stories evolved, he lovingly wrote them down, creating a collection that grew over the years.
His creative talents led him to advertising, where he received a Telly and a Bronze Omni for writing and directing. Not soon after, the publishing industry beckoned. Ron led experience design for 20+ years, focusing on content, product strategy, and user experiences. Ron currently leads design in the financial industry, creating valuable user-centric experiences for retirement planning and wellness products.
Returning to his passion for writing, Ron is busy creating manuscripts from his original collection of works and crafting new ones. His stories are now being published to bring joy and inspiration to children of all ages.
Steve Rosenzweig - Illustrator
From the moment Steve could clutch a crayon, he has channeled his artistic energy through drawing, doodling, drafting, and dreaming. In his youth, he was constantly creating colorful characters and curious creatures in the margins of his grade-school notebooks.
Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Purchase College, Steve's artistic journey has been diverse. His skills have led him to a 20+ year career as a production designer in the movie and theater industries. There, he created sets for movies like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, children’s shows for Nickelodeon, and an opera which premiered at the Salzburg Opera Festival.
He has continued a career in the fine arts, focusing primarily on painting and sculpture. His styles, ranging from abstracts to landscapes, showcase his versatility and adaptability as an artist. Steve is the quintessential creative with an inquisitive and restless soul.
Steve's original passion was recently re-awakened. His artistic adventure has come full circle. The return to his most heartfelt habitat, drawing and illustration, marks a deep sense of fulfillment on his creative journey.
