When Ringelstetter was live painting at the Trent Art Gallery back in 2019 he crossed paths with a lot of interesting people affiliated with big industries. The gallery was placed next to a highly rated restaurant that brought in wealthy traffic who often stopped by to check out the art and watch Ringelstetter paint after their dinner. One evening a group of women came in to see the Forbidden Effect and one of them started asking some very specific questions, expressing a lot of interest in the project and the components of its creation. After a while one of her friends told her to come clean about who she was and she introduced herself as Jody Keller, Director of Universal Studios.
She went on to tell Ringelstetter that she had never seen anything like his work and she would love to find a way to utilize his skill and the Forbidden Effect with her company, but she couldn’t think of a way to integrate him even though she felt what he was doing was way beyond anything she had ever seen. Some people may find this discouraging but it gave our artist peace. If the director of Universal Studios couldn’t find a way to encompass his abilities it seemed like a good sign that he was on the right path by doing his own thing with Atomic7. Now his focus is on further establishing himself and his business so that he’s ready when the right opportunity comes knocking on his door.
