Some of the fine people who make comics with us include:
Chris BonesBones has been drawing since his early childhood in Atlanta, Georgia. The majority of his adolescence was spent moving from country to country and town to town. Although he relocated to Australia several years ago, he has yet to venture much further than the park across the street with his loving wife and surly dogs.On the upside of agoraphobia, his strong stylization and bold pencil work have seen him achieve critical acclaim on comic projects including "I Hate Wednesdays", "The Eldritch Kid" and "Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday".

Mark WelshMark Welsh was born in 1973 in a small industrial town in Northern England and was mesmerised by the constant grindings of production and progress.

Mark's philosophy is to inspire by bringing beauty to the mundane and highlighting the magic of the mediocre.
