" The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad! " Dali
Andy Warhol once said everyone will have 15 minutes of fame, if you waste at least 15 minutes on my pages I will have had mine (if you have a fast modem, slow it down and come back!).So, let me introduce myself, I'm Jack. In case you're wondering the title for my homepage comes from the Herman Hesse book "Steppenwolf". I'm happily married to a wonderful wife whom I love dearly,and I have two cats, Lestat and Gish, they are our "kids". I am an electrical contractor, artist, and sometime musician. I spend most of my spare time reading science-fiction, fantasy and horror, listening to music and playing with Painter, Poser, and Photoshop. I used to airbrush quite a bit , but the computer has pretty much replaced that. My favourite artists are Dali , Magritte,and Escher.I play the synthesizer and love electronic music such as Tangerine Dream , Klause Schulze, Brian Eno and Vangelis. I am a consumate Zappa fan and enjoy music in general. Some of my favourites are Gong, Van der Graff Generator, Peter Hammill, King Crimson, Marillion, ELP "old" Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, Strawbs,and Yes.
