Hi! My name is Michael, care to hear my story?
Every morning I wake up excited to write down my creative ideas before I start my workday, could be a song title, a funny joke or even aliens dancing, anything that leads my imagination. My creativity starts around 5:00AM, the world is quiet at this time and you can hear the written words perfectly clear.
I was working a day job. Until one day …
I GOT AN IDEA!!!
I relish in creating all day long. My day job was regional visual manager for a high-end retail company. I have the gift in crafting new windows and interior displays that innovate clients to purchase, as I call it “RETAIL THERAPY”!
I ran home and then, all of a sudden, a thought occurred.
I always have note pads around, in the car, kitchen counter and even in the bathroom, so I can write down my creative ideas to feel alive.
My goal has always been to create and transform my ideas into something I can share with the universe. By collaborating with other creative people, I created Dance Aliens Production, Inc. This would become a place to create animated stories, music, and video content to entertain kids of all ages.
Sure, at first I panicked. I didn’t know how to reach my goal…
I didn’t want to force the process. I knew even if I wrote one sentence a day it would keep growing. My ideas were starting to take shape. The feeling of excitement was growing knowing each day I was investing in my dreams.
I wanted more, I wanted to fly and become free.
Some of the characters I created were coming alive through animation. This was an amazing feeling for me, knowing my vision was becoming a reality. One I could share with the world. Wow!
After thinking it all through, I joyfully came to realize…
Creating for me is giving my thoughts a platform for anyone to view…
As a child I knew I wanted to be a cartoonist, poet, and storyteller, I can now say, I am doing it!
Freedom and peace are something that comes from within us. You just have to find it and make it happen.
Every day I wake up and say thank you for the gift of creating art. I am grateful for everything and humble to live doing what I love. My ZEN is knowing I am doing what I am meant to do on planet earth, and above all sharing joy through my art.
LOVE IS THE REMEDYMy name is Michael Lorenzo Marinola...
And, this is a true story that is always changing daily.
