Free the Souls is taking the art world by storm! Thomas Zolotor Artist and Astronomer!
Thomas Zolotor started to draw well at the age of 2. Thomas was first published at the age of 14 in a flyer given out by his church. He drew Moses. Thomas also won his Jr. High School art contest.
Thomas Zolotor holds a World Record for sending the most digital artworks into space. Furthermore, he has been recognized for drawing celebrities for television programs. Thomas draw celebrities for a TV show that airs in L. A. and they autograph his artwork on air. He has done this since 2008.
Thomas Zolotor’s Free the Souls is taking the art world by storm! As an American artist he has been internationally recognized for his unique paintings of both celebrities and landscapes. Zolotor has already managed to accomplish some very unusual things in the art world that most artists never achieve in a lifetime!
The native Texan received a diploma from Harcourt Learning Direct in Computer Graphic Art. Since 1982 his freehand pieces have made their way into the world’s public eye. He is also a published poet, short story and song writer, hypnotist, autograph collector, reiki master, computer graphic artist, and a multiple world record holder! Zolotor, an accomplished astronomer as well, has made many predictions of new and emerging technologies and astrophysics, confirmed by research (http://www.myspace.com/freethesouls/blog/545801896).
As a popular artist, Zolotor’s work has been featured in calendars and magazines. Power pop singer Tiffinni Saint Ranae selected his art work for her CD cover "None of the Rules Apply". Many of Zolotor’s drawings have appeared on the television/online series "Focus in the Mix with Denise Ames". His original pieces were featured in various news segments and also portraits of celebrity guests of the show were presented with his work including musicians such as Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, Vinny Appice of Black Sabbath, Rudy Sarzo and Carlos Cavazo of Quiet Riot, Eddie Money, Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons, Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom of Blue Oyster Cult among many others.
His artwork has also been autographed and/or seen by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Danny DeVito, Dakota Fanning, Kirstie Alley, Samuel L. Jackson, Reese Witherspoon, Zoe Saldana and Selena Gomez as well as Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, Shania Twain, Toni Braxton, Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones, Ace Frehley of Kiss, Dee Snyder and Eddie Ojeda of Twister Sister, Grace Slick, Sharon Osbourne and even First Lady Michelle Obama! Athletes like Scott Hamilton, Joe Namath, Shannon Miller and Michael Jordan are also counted among those whom have seen Zolotor’s art.
Here are a few quotes from celebrities about Zolotor’s work as an artist:
“You're an incredible artist!” Miley Cyrus
“Amazing! I can't paint to save my life! That's so great.” Debbie Gibson (singer)

One of his pieces was also selected for inclusion on the 35th Anniversary Elvis Fan Mosaic which will be featured on the CD cover for this and shown at Graceland during Elvis Week in August of 2012. This is a rarity since most of the selections are actual photographs versus artwork.
UPDATE:
Thomas (Free The Souls) Zolotor's artwork was on display at Graceland in Elvis's 35th anniversary Mosaic. The Mosaic is so large that anyone can spot Thomas's artwork in it. It was put up on Aug. 2rd, 2012. Thomas's art is also, on the Elvis CD album cover of the 35th anniversary Mosaic. The album has several of Elvis's songs on it.
Zolotor's art has been featured in several art shows and galleries throughout the world including the Chiller Theater Expo two years in a row, MonsterCon and the Sapphire Lounge Art Gallery in New York City. One of the most successful fine art retailers Artisan Fine Art extended Zolotor a personal invitation to advertise his artwork on Artisan at no charge. (Bob Dylan and Ron Wood have also exhibited their artwork at Artisan.
Zolotor also currently holds several world records (All records can be viewed at: http://recordsetter.com/user/ThomasZolotor):

The following outlines the achievements of Rev. Dr. Thomas Scott Zolotor (also known as Free the Souls or FREETHESOULS on science papers) in the fields of Astronomy and Space Science:
· Rev. Dr. Zolotor's tag #fhb was used to help classify CANDELS/FHB galaxies to ready them for the public in record time. His Hashtag FHB retired thousands of CANDELS galaxies for final classification.
· Rev. Dr. Zolotor's work assisted in the discovery that Hubble’s photos of the farthest spiral galaxies have bars with record distances in time. This was a world record discovery.
· Rev. Dr. Zolotor also helped in the discovery that barred spiral galaxies are settling two billion years earlier than thought by astronomers and computer models.
· Rev. Dr. Tom Zolotor co-discovered Supernova, SMT17nyw | AT2017fvn
· Rev. Dr. Zolotor's work targeted and discovered areas on Mars, previously unknown to NASA. This led to the discovery of many different types of Martian ‘spiders,’ which were of great interest to scientists. This work was reported by FOX news and many other news outlets. Martian ‘Spiders’ are areas where carbon dioxide rises to the upper sheet. Zolotor’s work was mentioned in the following video in which citizen scientists assist professionals in their science projects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RK...
· Rev. Dr. Zolotor found evidence of previously undiscovered stellar clusters in the Andromeda galaxy, and helped in the largest cataloguing of stellar clusters. This led to the discovery that there were fewer elements and fewer supernovas in the planetary makeup of the Andromeda galaxy, a discovery which may have similar application to our own Milky Way Galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to our own.
Thomas Scott Zolotor's efforts helped astronomers expedite classification for the three discoveries listed below:
By combining Galaxy Zoo classifications with multi-wavelength light profile fitting — where we fit a 2D equation to the distribution of light in a galaxy, the properties of which correlate pretty well with whether a galaxy has a strong disk component — we’ve identified a population of likely disk-dominated galaxies that also completely lack the features that are common in disk galaxies in the nearby, more evolved Universe. These disks do not have spiral arms, bars, or clumps. They are smooth yet disk-shaped, not elliptical. They tend to be a bit more compact than disk galaxies that do not have these features, even though they have the same luminosities. They are also hard to identify using color alone, which echoes what we’ve seen in past Galaxy Zoo studies of various different kinds of galaxies. One really needs both kinds of morphological information to reliably find these galaxies.
Even with a pretty generous definition of what counts as “featured,” less than 15% of galaxies in the relatively young Universe that this data examines have clear signs of features. Most galaxies in the data set are relatively smooth and featureless.
Thomas Scott Zolotor, who's timely work led to the publication of newly formed galaxies, is now identified and published in a scientific paper at these redshifts.
Below, is a letter written to DR. Zolotor by DR. Brooke Simmions;
Galaxy zoo and Dr. Brooke Simmions call these newly published galaxies "featureless disks," and we may be the first scientific paper to have identified an actual sample of them at these redshifts.
· Thousands of Citizen Scientists took part in these above projects, but Dr. Zolotor listed only those in which he was the primary initiate.
Rev. Dr. Thomas Scott Zolotor predicted that Albert Einstein's gravitational wave theory, which is part of Einstein's theory of relativity, would be detected in the near future. Three years following this prediction, three scientists won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for detecting these gravitational waves.
The article below identifies these scientists for their work: https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2017/ Below is the prediction made by Dr. Zolotor: http://vixra.org/abs/1308.0044
* Rev. Dr. Zolotor suggested using the name Albertus Alauda for the planet orbiting Proxima Centauri B, our solar system's closest exoplanet. Albertus Alauda was originally proposed by Jay Lark for another exoplanet, which was ultimately disproved.
Below, is a letter written to Rev. Dr. Thomas Scott Zolotor:
Hello Tom!
Yes, I’m happy to let you know that the name of Albertus Alauda has been updated in Uwingu’s internal catalog as of 1-October-2017, and for all of our purposes from here on out that name will apply to the planet surrounding Proxima Centauri B. This name now applies to all users of Uwingu’s catalog of exoplanets from that day forward. Onward and upward!
