Artist's Bio

Yes, it is me. I am back after a long summer vacation in which you will all hear about later. So let's begin this year with my ARTIST bio:

Austin Katz is a writer. He was born in New York, NY on April 11, 1997.  His current projects include  the Highland's "Potato" and STAC's "Inside The Starving Artist".  His passion to write developed at an early age but notoriety started with his short story entitled "Jigglypuff, the Most Ferocious of the Pokemon". He was also recently published in OPUS 2013 for his short story entitled "Charlie Brown" . His passion for writing has evolved into screen plays and film writing. One of Austin's goals this year is to make a film this year. He has tried to make films last year but his attempts were, for the most part, unsuccessful, and he hopes with the right guidance he can improve and make his own feature length film.  He has also recently expanded his writing to include works about nature as a result of his most recent adventures in Hawaii during the summer of 2013.  Nature and ukulele playing are common themes in his most recent works.

As an beginner ukulele player, he wants to try to learn a lot of new songs by the end of the year and to become better by strumming chords faster. He also wants to learn how to read the sheet music for ukulele and write his own songs to play for others.

Austin has been practicing his writing ever since he was 12 years old, however, has only recently developed a clever and somewhat sarcastic style, which evolved as a result of his membership into the   gifted artists program called STAC. Ever since he joined this program, his writing has become more polished and real. Austin's inspiration comes from all aspects of his life, as well as his teachers, friends, and the music and art around him. In his past time when he is not writing, he is improving his business skills, listening to music, running, talking to his friends, playing video games (another form of art) or studying for his other classes that he attends as a high school student. Austin is looking forward toward the future and wants to graduate high school. Austin's influences are Batman, Pokemon, Deadpool, Kick-Ass, How I Met Your Mother and the people who he meets every day.
