Creator

The concept of Quixotic was created by the Hair Poet, Arteplesius (Eric Sacks), a native Dallasite who has a true zest for the extraordinary. After graduating from the University of Texas, Eric’s travels have taken him to many countries in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa over the course of six years, while residing in France, Spain, Italy and Israel. Artist, designer, explorer, seeker, poet and food aficionado, Eric is intrigued by the arts, performance, fashion, wine and loves to lose himself in music (even his own).

Fresh from Seattle, where Eric dabbled in DJ-ing, enjoying nature and spent generous amounts of time tapping into the subconscious, he began formulating his ideas for Quixotic. If English is not your language, Eric will be happy to converse with you in Italian, French, Spanish or Hebrew.
