 What would an about page be without juicy photos? Here they are from me as a baby to now as a youthful looking old man. There are some gems in there to make it well worth your time. |
Sean Rose is an American artist , graphic designer, photographer, computer programmer and teacher.
Sean creates art in Charleston, West Virginia, U.S.A. Most of the photography is shot in West Virginia for WV clients; however, 95% of design sales are to clients outside WV - including all the US States and as far away as Mexico, Canada, China, Hong Kong, The Philippines, Japan, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and Australia. Sean has shot photography all over though, including New York, Atlanta, Washington D.C., New Orleans and more.
Sean would say his career began when he won a gold medal in an international art competition in Tokyo, Japan when he was in 2nd grade. In a professional sense, his career began in 1996 when he started Cycline3 and released SCD, a state-of-the-art music and video player for Microsoft Windows.
In 1997, Sean wrote and released Jesse6, a program for creating web pages. It's low cost and tool set made it extremely popular in the early days of the Internet when such tools were hard to find or extremely expensive.
The highlight of a diverse programming career came in 1999, shortly after the launch of a little known site called eBay. Sean realized the enormous potential for online sales and eBay's lackluster selling tools. Cycline3 Auction Listing Creator was born; a tool to allow anyone to create graphic ads on eBay without knowing the computer code that made it happen.
This software was the first released for Apple's Mac OS X operating system and continues to be one of the most successful tools for eBay, now available for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS 9 and OS X, as well as the open source operating system Linux.
As an artist, Sean has sold paintings and photographs via the Internet and has met and worked with Homer Hickam of the Rocket Boys, the rock group The Donnas, Allan Ginsburg and Bill Cosby. He created images for BeOS, a company spun off from Apple Computer, Inc. and he has created websites for companies across the United States and abroad.
As an educator, Sean worked with doctors to create an educational CD-ROM and software for The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Active Kidz is a learning tool for kids that teaches the benefits of exercise. The software is free and available for Macintosh and Windows.
Sean has taught computer science at Bell University in Jiangyin, People's Republic of China. He was the graphic artist for the film Duara, an AIDS awareness film made in Tanzania, Africa. He has volunteered with the elderly to teach them computer skills and provided computer resources and time to the Geri Olympics program since 1997.
In 2005, Sean joined Dream Catcher, a group of peers, to continue creating compelling art and applications for business and education.
