Originally an instructor, technical writer, editor & illustrator whose style was photo-realistic, C. S. Walkingheart in working with CBT/curriculum design for various clients began using the 3D modeling software employed by movie special effects studios. Using a blend of digital & hand rendering, he has developed several distinctive styles, including the realistic b&w of DOPS & the colorful abstract impressionism best known thru his children’s books & playful ClubArt portraits. He owns SunRiser Creative Industries, which under its SunRiser Family Publishing division has 4 imprints: Forever SummerChylde (children’s), SunRiser Valley (adults) & Pilothead Press (Pilothead Sound series). Saw-Tree Print Productions is his studio for book layout, design & illustrations, though he works with established printers to produce hard copies of his work. In time, he hopes to publish the work of others as well, having a variety of in-house resources similar to those of an established publishing house. It is his hope that by helping others make their dreams of published work a reality, high-quality literature for all ages will provide a wholesome alternative to the themes of violence, occult and erotica which have flooded the current market. Oh…and his favorite food is COFFEE.
