Full Circle: Meet Director Libero Antonio Di Zinno

ArtCenter: What are you working on right now?    Libero Antonio Di Zinno (BFA 89 Photography), director: I’ve blessed to be on the inside of a brilliant project, Endangered Activism. I got pulled in by Shannon Galpin, my esteemed partner in Mountain2Mountain, a nonprofit focused on helping women and children in Afghanistan. Now, we are working with the next generation of activists following Shannon’s daughter Devon, 12, who’s pursuing her own passion of protecting the big cats. We’ve spent a year traveling with Devon who is being home-schooled around the world to meet artists, athletes and researchers. 

AC: What have been some of the most memorable twists and turns in your professional/creative journey after graduating ArtCenter? LZ: Following my passion for storytelling into motion pictures from still photography has been the greatest adventure. It has allowed me a kind of passport into the lives of people that I admire, respect and am fascinated with.

AC: What’s been the most unexpected or valuable takeaway from your ArtCenter education?  LZ: The most unexpected thing was that I would be asked to return to speak, share and teach at my alma mater after the reputation I made for being kind of an upstart/disrupter myself … to say the least! It has turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. Also, partnering with fellow alum Mariana Prieto on her new enterprise The Design for Wildlife Collective — working with her is a perfect example of how teaching can ultimately lead to collaboration!

AC: How do you define success?   LZ: Having the freedom to choose the subjects and projects to fulfill one’s curiosity, passions and then share these stories.

AC: Do you have any superstitions? LZ: No, although I do have a lucky number 27 — does that count?

AC: What’s design cliché are you most tempted to use? LZ: “It’s a heartbreaking work of staggering genius!”

AC: Where do you go when you’re taking a break? LZ: On a daily basis I go to the beach near my place in Venice.

AC: What do you do to detox from media and screens?

LZ: Nature, mountains, desert, glaciers, wild places and things.

AC: Where do you get inspiration? LZ: Some people are molded by their admirations, others by their hostilities. (I am of the former.)

AC: What’s the one tool you can’t do without?   LZ: iPhone.

AC: If you could trade jobs for a day with anyone, who would it be? LZ: Today? Maybe … Lewis Hamilton or Sting.

AC: What’s the first site you look at when you open your computer in the morning? LZ: Facebook.

AC: What books are on your bedside table? LZ: Space Odyssey by Micael Benson, Steve McQueen by William Klaxton, Once by Wim Wenders.

AC: Who are the most interesting artists in your field working today?   LZ: Julian Schnabel, Terrence Malick, Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki.

AC: Who are some unheralded artists you like? LZ: Joe Penna, Daniel Milnor and Chris Delorenzo.

AC: Describe the moment in your childhood where you first identified as an artist or designer? LZ: 8 years old … Life magazine … Olympic preview issue … Mark Spitz double-page spread image, full-bleed by Co Rentmeester. Turns out Rentmeester was an Art Center photo alum from way back, and it must have made an impression upon me since I ended up following in his footsteps to ACCD many years later.

AC: How were you exposed to great art and design as a child?  LZ: Both of my parents were mad about movies when I was a kid. Our dinner conversations revolved around actors and directors of every genre. This passion for cinema led me to believe in the medium as the height of accomplishment and collaboration in all of the art forms it encompasses: writing, photography, music, acting, editing, directing and more.

AC: If you had superpowers, what would they be? LZ: That's easy - to save endangered species from extinction!

AC: What is your most irrational fear? LZ: Leaving the planet before I am finished making, exploring and learning things.

AC: What is your most rational fear? LZ: Er, (ahem) …  leaving the planet before I am finished making, exploring and learning things!

AC: What is your current obsession? LZ: NASA + Space-X.

AC: What is your prized possession?   LZ: The authentic replica race helmet of my first Grand Prix hero Gilles Villeneuve that sits on my desk.

AC: What possession do you most aspire to possess?   LZ: Peace of mind.

AC: What is your happy place? LZ: Ammassalik Island, Greenland.

AC: How would your closest friend describe you? LZ: Loyal, blunt and sincere … and maybe just maybe a grizzly bear in a previous life!

AC: How would you define your personal brand or graphic identity? LZ: Authentic and seriously addicted to … JOY.

BASICS.

◦ name: syre salinger ◦ age: 23 ◦ height: 6′2″ ◦ hair: brown ◦ eyes: hazel ◦ family: j. d. salinger (grandfather), david salinger (father), charlotte carrington (mother) ◦ hometown: manhattan, new york city, new york ◦ pet: holden (golden retriever) ◦ occupation: n/a

ABOUT.

◦ syre hails from old money. his father is david salinger, son of j.d. salinger. both highly respected and notable in the literary world. j.d. for his work and david for his publishing empire. syre’s family was responsible for publishing children’s book series like harry potter to fashion magazines like vouge. syre’s mother is charlotte carrington. her family owned every power plant in the state of new york along with a few new alternative energy resources. both sides of his family had big reputations to uphold, and so did he.

◦ as an only child, he spent more time with adults than with children his age. he was very bright and spoke very clearly. being the grandson and son of famous authors it was only natural that syre caught the writing bug. he was brought up to appreciate literature and the importance of books. as a toddler, he had a wild imagination. roping his friends into the stories he made up in his head, bringing his creations to life. growing up he put his creative mind to good use (well, most of the time) by putting his intricate thoughts to paper. in secondary school, not only did he figure out he was a good storyteller, but he was also a good liar.

◦ his father’s side of the family taught him how to pull people in, make them care about what you’re saying. his mother’s family taught him how to take that trust and get them to do whatever you want. in high school he mastered the art of manipulation, a gift in the business industry. he could talk his way out of anything and talk anyone into buying something even if they didn’t need it. he made his parents proud by publishing a handful of short stories and being captain of his debate team, proving that he was cut out to follow in either parents' footsteps.

◦ the salingers were a very close knit family. though their businesses kept them busy, they never failed to include their only son in whatever they were doing. syre went to every auction, gala, party, you name it. he was exposed to this debonair lifestyle at an early age and it was his normal. he saw how people looked at his parents, talked about his parents, envied his parents. they were of another level, a level he chose to aspire to. being a salinger meant he had a reputation to protect and he vowed he would.

◦ exposure to this kind of lifestyle had syre exposed to a lot of things meant for adults. however, when he reached for his first glass of champagne, his parents didn’t stop him. they felt at fourteen he was mature enough to have a glass with them in celebration. it was at a client’s book release party and that first sip made him feel like he’d been granted adulthood. being so young and feeling like you had so much power, he easily took advantage. the celebratory glass of champagne turned into one drink with his father ‘don’t tell your mother’ type deals, then it escalated into a glass of wine at the dinner table, and before he even realized, he was getting drunk in the hamptons every semester break. his parents didn’t mind as long as he did exceedingly well in school and didn’t do anything to tarnish the family name.

◦ being a young adult with few restrictions, syre of course got into a few mishaps. well, to them it was mishaps to anyone else it would be misdemeanors, citations, or a trip to a juvenile detention facility. his parents made everything disappear with a simple phone call. their idea of punishment wasn’t punishment at all. he’d have to write an essay on what he’d done, why it was wrong, what he took away form the experience, and what he was going to do differently should something like it happen again. though it was a good tactic for a little reflection, meditation, and to up his writing skills. this really only prepared him on how to not get caught the next time. and now he had documented papers on every bad decision turned great story he’d ever had.

◦ syre attended yale with honors at the age of seventeen. he felt like he was on top of the world. he’d joined the likes of his parents on being the affluent and highly educated, but mostly he earned bragging rights for the rest of his life. the night of his graduation party, once the formal part of it ended, he and his friends went out to really celebrate. he was far to drunk to drive home but he’d done it hundreds of times before. he almost made it when he’d hit an unexpected pot hole. or at least, it felt like a pot hole? apparently the pot hole had a name, and wasn’t a pot hot at all. it was theodore barnes, the owner of the local flower shop. he had a wife and two kids. driving under the influence at twenty years old and killing a man should have landed him in handcuffs. instead, it landed him in an international masters degree program at the university of oxford.

◦ his parents saved him like they always did, and made sure the story stayed out of the news. they had a reputation to uphold after all. syre understood. at first they made it out like enrolling him into the program was for his safety, to keep him from behind bars. plus, he'd be able to get his masters and they were all about higher education. but after a year the realization dawned on him. something was different. they were different. they didn’t look at him the same, or all for that matter. the only communication he had with them consisted of text messages, money transfers, and a call around the holidays. they couldn’t face what he did, what they did for him.

◦ syre currently resides just north of the university, struggling to find it in him to go home and face his parents, face what he did, face himself. struggling to really do anything anymore. what was the point? the day they handed him his masters degree, he laughed. he didn't earn it. at least, he didn't think so. most of his work was done by others who were enamored by his last name. thinking by helping him, they would further their writing careers. no, he just needed someone else to do the work. he no longer felt the need to uphold the standard his parents held him to. why should he? they could barely look at him. he traded in his suits for sweats, his ambition for apathy. ◦ he was content with his daily schedule of nothingness for a while. slacking in school broke him of his ambitious habits, replacing them with new 'carefree' ones. being alone began to take a toll and that's when he decided that after three years, maybe it was time to start forgiving himself. he was young, reckless, underaged. he made a mistake. he wanted a clean slate. he didn't put much thought into applying for the show or that he'd even get in. but he did hope his last name would give him a little bit of juice and maybe send his parents the finger for going so public without consulting them first. he deserved to start living again, maybe he'd meet someone willing to live for.

HEADCANONS.

◦ due to the accident, syre hates flowers. ◦ he had a gf up until he was sent away. he never got the chance to explain anything to her or say goodbye.

Veteran iU author Joseph Dorris and “Salmon River Kid”

Veteran iUniverse author Joseph Dorris discusses his new book, Salmon River Kid, as well as his Idaho Sheepeater series.

I was raised in McCall, Idaho near the wilderness of which I write. Had a large family. We were all skiers. Most of us went on to national and international levels. My four brothers are all bush pilots. Three still fly the Idaho backcountry. One flies in Maine. I was the exception, but I was the one that was hunting the ground for gems and minerals. I also enjoyed writing and painting from an early age. Today, my wife and three grown children follow in my footsteps. My business mines and sells gems and minerals all over the world. You might have watched my family on the Weather Channel’s program, Prospectors, which aired for four years. Much of it was filmed on our mining claims in Colorado where I now live.

  I always enjoyed writing, even as a kid. I was always terrible with spelling and grammar, and probably still am, but I had a passion for trying to capture what I see and feel. I appreciate history and our Western way of life. As a former science teacher, I like to answer the questions why and so my writing tends to be descriptive as well as instructive. If you follow the examples of prospecting in Sojourner of Warren’s Camp, I guarantee you’ll have a good idea of how to find gold. I mostly write about the West—western historical fiction—but I base it more on real life and not Hollywood shootouts, although I do like a good shootout to keep a reader’s attention. I also like coming-of-age themes. Maybe it’s because of the teacher in me, but youngsters are more open to learning things than we old dogs are. They are also full of wonder and curiosity but a lot smarter than we sometimes credit them. I guess that makes me like the classics like Jack London and Mark Twain as well as a couple of contemporary writers that come to mind like Craig Lesley and Ferrol Sams.

  Why I write: I grew up flying with my father over the Idaho wilderness. As a bush pilot and game warden, he knew the country better than any. As a kid I found myself fascinated with the history of this remote and mostly overlooked region of the U.S. When he pointed out places like the Sheepeater hot springs or the Rains’s Ranch, or when we landed on remote dirt strips lined with cobbles from the early Chinese and European miners, I was fascinated and hungry to learn more. I tramped throughout this country. I hunted, fished, and learned to prospect for gold. I talked with all the old timers I could meet. Their stories inspired me. I began writing them down and have done so since my teenage years. Recently, I began compiling them into a series that I’ve titled the Idaho Sheepeater series. The books are based on nineteenth central Idaho from when it became a Territory in 1863 and will culminate with the Sheepeater campaign of 1879.

  The series isn’t a history course, however. I have created several fictional characters who begin as teenagers. It’s their adventures and coming-of-age in the early books. Forthcoming books will be harder-hitting novels as the main characters assume adult roles and become embroiled in conflict. In the first, Sheepeater: To Cry for a Vision, a Swedish boy, Erik Larson, becomes adopted by the Sheepeater Indians. In my second book, Sojourner of Warren’s Camp, Samuel Chambers, chases a lost gold deposit (quite common then and to this day). My third novel, Salmon River Kid, extends Samuel’s life to survival along the Salmon River amid claim jumpers and harsh conditions. It’s there while helping at a ranch that he meets the girl of his dream and his nemeses. It’s his drive to return to Warren’s camp with his father to prove up his hardrock mine that gravely endangers his life. He and his Chinese friend, Sing Chen, attempt to take out gold to Lewiston but while being pursued by highwaymen intent on robbing them (a common occurrence as well).

  In addition to the fictional story, I’ve included numerous historical vignettes. For example, the events surrounding Warren’s camp were actual events from 1871 and 1872. Similarly, the community of Slate Creek and its role in the eventual 1877 Nez Perce war are historical accounts. I’ve used actual names, dates, and happenings wherever possible. The lost gold ledge that Samuel seeks is based on my own experience and knowledge of an existing ledge (Sorry. I’ve disguised some of the information). The river-run is based on an account of Chinese miners attempting to navigate the Salmon River on a raft with their gold dust tied in bags to the raft to thwart thieves.

  All my novels are set within the history and geography of the region. I’ve illustrated them with my artwork to show how things were done and to recreate scenes for when cameras were scarce. The cover illustrations are also mine and depict the country as it was then and largely still is. The Idaho wilderness is the largest wilderness in the lower 48. I just happened to grow up on its western border and be lucky enough with a bush-pilot for a father.

  My Message: As a writer today, I want to capture the diverse history of our foundation years in Idaho, especially the varied cultures and events surrounding them. For example, only a handful of Indians ever inhabited the Warren’s meadow area, but the ghost Indians, whom today we refer to as the Sheepeaters and who have faded into history, inhabited some of the most inhospitable canyons and mountains in America. In writing about Erik and in my forthcoming book, Katrine: High Valley Home, I learned Idaho was blessed with a rich Scandinavian heritage and culture. At one time, over twenty five percent of its population was Scandinavian. Similarly surprising, over a third of Idaho Territory’s population was Chinese. Idaho’s foundation was one of hunting, mining, logging, ranching, and farming to which all these people contributed. Men and women of Idaho are of the land. They appreciate and respect it and derive their livelihoods from it. I hope my series of books contributes to their understanding and appreciation of their roots.

  I’ve published all of my books through iUniverse. I appreciate being able to select the services I want, especially those services for which I don’t have time or the expertise. I especially like their initial manuscript evaluation. I’ve also had great editors. The over-all product quality makes it worth it. Of course, the greatest feeling is having the final published book in my hands.

  As for marketing, my problem is that I enjoy gifting my books. Otherwise, I market most of my books through direct contact with people at the trade shows I do on a continuing basis. Even though I sell mostly crystallized mineral specimens at these shows, there is a natural tie between people who collect rocks and stories about mining and the Old West. Find a trade show where your genre will do well and set up a table. Collectibles shows and gun shows are great. Remember the spouse might be looking for something he or she can buy, and it could likely be your book, especially if you’re the only one displaying. I’ve also found that by publishing a series, I’ve built up several hundred loyal fans who await each book. Of course I do book signings and place my book in shops back in my home town in McCall, Idaho. Try placing an ad in a local paper—not the main large city paper, but the small, neighborhood papers where you can place your books in a shop for sale. Try consigning some. In short, just do it. Work marketing several hours a week outside of the actual venues.

  My advice for aspiring authors: Always remain an aspiring author. Never quit learning and never quit striving for excellence. In practical terms, I’ve joined an improvisation writing group which meets weekly where we get together and write about two hours. We use prompts and then take turn reading our work. There are no critiques. Talk about fresh ideas, word usage, and craft—it’s a great source of inspiration. I’ve also learned early on that there are two major aspects to the creative process. Create first and judge later. Let the ideas flow. Don’t apply judgment until you just can’t write anything more. Then go back and refine your ideas a little. Then apply some judgment. But not too much. You can easily overwork stuff, just like an artist’s canvas.
