Rob Kistner

I am a writer, poet, artist, singer, song lyricist, and contemporary furniture designer. You can see examples of my creations throughout my blog, Image & Verse, at http://image-verse.com.

At 61 years old, I'm lucky to live an adventurous life. Went to three different colleges in the 1960's, furthering my education at the "university of the road" cross country on motorcycles, then in traveling R&B and Rock & Roll bands for quite a few years.

I was fortunate to have been one of the country's first home theater architects, having evolved from designing and installing custom residential audio systems in the mid 1970's.

I was a member of George Lucas's Lucasfilm LTD, THX Division. What a great time! It was a blast having an office on Skywalker Ranch being surrounded by, and inspired daily, by the remarkably creative individuals who were my associates.

I have now settled into the Pacific Northwest. I am thrilled to spend available time exploring this magnificent part of the world, while doing my best to be a loving husband and father.

My goal, before I am gone from this mortal plane, is to have a high-quality, large-format hardcover 'coffee-table' book of my poetry published. It would also include high-resolution color plates of my art and collages -- and a CD/DVD insert of me reading my poetry, complete with music and special effects mixed in... just as I feature in the "Visceral Voice" section of my Image & Verse online site. This book would be entitled Image & Verse and would have the spirit of my Image & Verse site.
