Dominick Santise
Biographical Info Dominick Santise grew up along the Hudson River in New York State. He is fluent in English and sarcasm, the latter more proficiently. In his youth he raked leaves, mowed lawns, shoveled driveways and delivered newspapers to earn spare change. He stored it away for the future and then couldn’t find it so he went to work in his father’s print shop, which greatly affected his sense of smell. After that he studied illustration at Parsons School of Design (he believes that is what it was called back then) and ventured into the world as a freelancer. Few people have seen him since. Dominick spent a decade living in Manhattan working as a designer and illustrator on a long list of book, editorial and advertising projects before moving “upstate” where he lives with his wife and children. His sense of smell has returned to normal, though he is still prone to aromatic flashbacks. Nestled in the Hudson Valley he continues to work on splendiferous projects (he did a thesaurus search for \"great\" and he liked splendiferous) with some of the worlds best designers and directors (seriously, no sarcasm) as well as his own stories and artwork. Like the spare change of his youth he is constantly storing ideas away for the (not-so-distant) future. Unlike the spare change, they are in a safe place. When not working for others Dominick can be found passing the time at a local farm or toiling away in a subterranean cave or under a tree.
