| The Three Men Who Have Had the Greatest Influence on
Me as a Man and an Artist (in no particular order) - but do not make
the mistake of thinking that I necessarily agree with them; rather
this is a question of fruitful dialogue and life-long friendship.

Other very important people to me:
Mr Joseph and Mrs Maria Roilidis, my Godfather and his wife, Espoo, Finland Mrs Kira Pronin, my Godmother, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
These Friends Have Shown Undying Loyalty Towards Our Humble Person:
Arise goblins Arise Talking Trees Arise Fennyload Wandlings (ever talk to one?) Arise, oh Minerva, to bless your crowd Arise Short Volcanos (too shy to walk around) Arise oh Wagons To take your Mistress around
Dedicated to Susanne Österlund-Pötzsch, Ca'Covero, 24.2.2010
Ms S.S. - one of the Wisest Ladies known to me - but she refuses to give me a photograph of herself - one of my my most important Muses
Mr J.H. - the wisest and humbelst pastor known to me - but no photograph...
Mr Antti Hämäläinen, a tender-hearted and gifted Artist and a True Friend
'Adventures' that should not have been made:
Two spiritual leaders who have had a great impact on me - in fact, I've lived one year with each of them in a discipleship house led by each of them! Boy was that an adventure... ;-)
These Two Men Have Also Greatly Helped Me:

| I cannot sufficiently express my admiration and love for the Art of my colleague Ville Löppönen, 30, of Helsinki, one of the greatest living Finnish painters, if you ask me!! His Art has Form, Content, Purpose, Mystery - everything! I advice you to buy EVERYTHING of his Art that you get your hands on - as long as it is still relatively affordable! See for yourself: www.villelopponen.com | |

Soile Yli-Mäyry, another great living Finnish painter whom I admire. See some more at www.soileyli-mayry.com
