Calvert Comics (When The Heart Betrays The Blood, St. Andrew's Cross) - Mat Calvert is a writer/artist quickly establishing a reputation as a unmarketable weirdo. His work is sort of a dialectic contrasting literary art books and lurid sex and violence comics, which is a difficult sell to audiences who tend to favor one or the other.

Tomorrow belongs to him and his special friends.

Giant Tom Creations - My name is Greg Burnett. I'm 28 years old, and I live in Pittsburgh. Though I've been many things in recent years (college student, manager, blackjack dealer, etc.), I've always considered myself a maker of things in my spare time. A creator at heart - whether it's a tinfoil ashtray or a comic strip. It brings me great joy to create things plucked from my own imagination. My cartoons and images are an amalgamation of doodles and thoughts that I've been able to manipulate and put to paper. A pure expression. A unique view of the inside of my mind. www.facebook.com/GiantTomCreations
Greg "El Grego" Garay (Jack B: Ride the Air) - I'm an artist, illustrator, a storyteller and a problem solver.
Think of “a roller derby in the sky”. Jack and the WeFlyHi crew set out to take the new sport of Skyriding to impossible heights. Skyriding was created when some young, bright kids “borrowed” an advanced Air Filtration Unit and reconfigured it into rocket boots. With the sky at their finger tips they fly into skybattles for respect, to push tech, and to break past their limits.
Jack B: Ride the Air comes from a place deep in my soul. As a youngish black man, I grew up not understanding my talents and abilities for what they were. Jack B: Ride the Air puts on display the power of youth when you harness it through competition, drive, determination, and hope. They create amazing feats through ingenious ideas and rapid fire instincts. That’s all you need to change the world. www.weflyhi.com

Jeff McClelland (The Tick; FUBAR; Imaginary Drugs; Magic Bullet; The Amazing Transforming Superhero; Journal of Venture Studies; Teddy and the Yeti; The Naked Man at the Edge of Time; Black Terror: Wednesday at the Diner) - If Jeff McClelland was frozen for thousands of years, perhaps in a horrible Freon accident, only to be thawed and later reintroduced into society (probably by then known as "space society"), here are some of the questions he might ask his new space overlords:
1) How many Super Bowls have the Steelers won since I was frozen?
2) Does Frankenberry still exist?
3) There's a pill to regrow hair, right?
4) Did anyone ever get around to reading the comics I wrote?
The answers to these questions would probably determine whether society had become a Star Trek-like utopia or a big space dump.
Jeff has written for such titles as "The Tick", the New York Times bestselling "FUBAR" series, IDW's "Imaginary Drugs", DC Conspiracy's "Magic Bullet" comic newspaper, "The Amazing Transforming Superhero" from McFarland Books, Adult Swim's "Journal of Venture Studies", and his self-published co-creations such as "Teddy and the Yeti", "The Naked Man at the Edge of Time" and "Black Terror: Wednesday at the Diner".
Jeff lives in Pittsburgh until the frozen thing happens.

Marlee and Greg's current project, Hamnett House Histories, combines sketches of historic homes and characters in their community.
In their words: "When we look at the historic houses in our community, we’re inspired by their intricacies. It’s hard not to create stories about the antebellum house with the widow’s peak that sits far back from the road or the weathered little shack where, though windowless, tattered drapes still hang.
Through Hamnett House Histories, we pair some of our favorite houses with fictional sketches of the characters that reside within them, whether in the past or present. Some houses have been long-abandoned, awaiting demolition; others are passed down through generations. Still others are part of our own personal narratives or simply places we wonder about as we pass them each day. All of them have histories." www.gregburgh.com

Marlee Gallagher & Greg Sciulli (Hamnett House Histories: a series of sketches; Gregburgh prints) - Marlee Gallagher is a writer and community advocate living in Wilkinsburg, PA, a small town just east of the City of Pittsburgh.

Greg Sciulli is a photographer and visual artist based in Pittsburgh, PA. His work consists of creating funny cartoon characters and taking funny photos of real characters. He has one love: '90s pop music.
Marlee and Greg's current project, Hamnett House Histories, combines sketches of historic homes and characters in their community.
In their words: "When we look at the historic houses in our community, we’re inspired by their intricacies. It’s hard not to create stories about the antebellum house with the widow’s peak that sits far back from the road or the weathered little shack where, though windowless, tattered drapes still hang.
Through Hamnett House Histories, we pair some of our favorite houses with fictional sketches of the characters that reside within them, whether in the past or present. Some houses have been long-abandoned, awaiting demolition; others are passed down through generations. Still others are part of our own personal narratives or simply places we wonder about as we pass them each day. All of them have histories." www.gregburgh.com
