Who is this mysterious Julius character? To know this, and what shaped the young creative, we must venture back in time to the year 1985. This is when the tale of Julius began. From an early stage in his life, Julius was amazed with colors and shapes. And to admire things. An energetic — yet humble — boy sat in his favorite maple tree watching his neighborhood street and day dreaming of bigger and better things.

It is the creative vain that keeps Julius’ blood flow pumping. True happiness is defined as the last dot on the master piece, or an adventure in good friends’ company.

Julius was never a technical person per se. In his early teenage years, he only ever occasionally unscrewed the hood of his iMac. He was more of a dreamer and instead was intrigued by the possibilities with the new machine. It was the fruit of the labor, and not how the brush was constructed, that mattered to the young man. A breakthrough happened when Julius at the age of twelve got a copy of Claris Home Page 2.0 for his birthday. Since that day on, he fell in love with the web and all things around it (which several now long gone Tripod and Geocities accounts could have vouched for).

During one and a half years in the happy nineties, Julius moved with his family to Australia where the young boy learned fluent English and broaded his horizons.

He made, packaged and sold Macintosh shareware, launched the web portal MacDesktop.com and, at fourteen, successfully sold advertising space on the site to a peripherals company in Holland. His creative endeavors never stopped. During high school, he started his own hiphop inspired clothing label under the name Swimp Clothing.

There was no stopping his insatiable hunger for creation.

Magazines, websites, clothing, posters, music. The medium was secondary; it was the creative process that was the juice. The only thing Julius has not ventured into as of yet is writing a thick novel and maybe even get it published. But rumors say, he’s already begun.
