Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for visiting my online digital art gallery. All images here, although copyrighted, are freely available for download and most are of an adequate size to be used as desktop backgrounds. All I ask is that you respect my rights as the creator of these images and not try to make money from them.
I\'m a 50 year old homeless disabled recovering alcoholic male with over three years continuous sobriety. Early in 2003, after a 22 year career as a telecommunications and computer technician, I became unemployed due to downsizing. This loss combined with the lingering trauma from the attacks of 9/11/2001, during which I was at my job just 4 blocks away from the south tower, I essentially gave up on life and crawled the rest of the way into the bottle I’d been regularly using as a refuge from a generally unsatisfying life. It wasn’t until the the end of 2004, when I became sure I was going to become homeless, that I chose the path of hope and reached out for help. With the help of Project Hospitality here in Staten Island, NY, I never had to spend a day on the street. Their Recovery Program literally saved my life and helped me build the necessary skills to avoid relapse. My councilor, Mr. Michael Squeglia, went the extra mile to encourage and support me in my struggle to escape the abyss of alcoholism. I literally owe him my life.
I also owe my life to the spiritual teaching known as Eckankar. Through it, with the help of all the wonderful friends I\'ve made among its followers, who have given me so much understanding and support, I found my way out of the darkness.
It’s been a long and sometimes difficult three years since I entered recovery, during which I started to explore my creativity as a self administered form of therapy. Now I’ve grown to love my art and it’s one of the things I live for. I can no longer work due to severe spinal and arthritic problems so I’m in the process of obtaining my Social Security Disability benefits, which is proving to be quite a battle. My physical disabilities often make it difficult for me to sit at my computers to create new images but it is a labor of love for me and I do all I can to endure the discomforts. I prefer to share my work freely rather than ruin the joy I get from it by asking for payment. At this point in my life all I want is a home of my own and better equipment/software to help me further evolve my creativity. Even though any possible income I can gain from my creative pursuits would be of great help I do not desire fame and fortune. I just want to create beauty and share it with as many people as I can. I hope you enjoy what you see here as much as I enjoyed creating it. I add new images as often as I can so come back once in a while to view my new work. Thank you again for visiting. ;-)
Sincerely,
William \"Spektyr\" Laskorski
