Born in Kapuskasing, Ont. Canada, Brian Sauriol has lived in the U.S. since 1963. His artistic passion, and love of science fiction and mystery novels, has translated into an incredible and fulfilling career, both as an award winning commercial illustrator, and as the head of a multimedia program on a college level. His imagination, and storytelling capability, lead to his first published novel, "Aquiline and The Circle of Stones: The Battle Within." For twenty-six years, he has guided other passionate artists into productive lives under the media and communication arts umbrella of design, illustration, animation, interactive, and video technology. This forced him to stay current within many aspects of multimedia, and helped him share his stories on multiple levels.
