This is my world.
I am multidisciplinary by choice. I create art, books, games.
I believe exploring different disciplines expands me, improves me and makes me better at what I do.

About me
Leon (Arik) Schenkler
I don't want to reduce myself to one field simply because specialization is easier to explain.
I like learning new subjects, solving different kinds of problems and creating things that did not exist before.
Moving between art, writing, games, research, technology and design does not dilute my work. I believe each field improves the others.
My goal is not simply to do many things. My goal is to do things well.
This website is where those different parts of my work meet.
