This discourse charts the reader through the history of the GI mark franchise and its quick ascension to the top of the gothic industry.
Peter Giani was born and raised in Leningrad, Russia; known today as St Petersburg. Being a young boy in the cultural capital of ancient Russia known for its charming, ancient world architecture & medieval charm had a lasting impact on the creativite instincts of the young artist.
From his very first days as a child, the budding artist had always been special, and had his own characteristic style and taste. He had been deeply interested in art ever since five, drawing and sketching on any paper he could secure. He resolved to pursue his desire to be an artist, and applied to the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. Upon admission into the illustrious institution, he thrived in the field of oil canvas. Even as a student, he prepared his own canvases, concocted his own paints, & churned out gorgeous pieces of art, which caught the eyes of teachers, peers and artists alike.
Giani saw greater possibilities for growth & recognition overseas, & chose to go to America, where he started out working for small jewelry shops doing minor work in Los Angeles, California.
