In 2006, he illustrated STUART, a short story penned by Chris Arrant which  ran in NEGATIVE BURN.  Eric is also a contributor to Newsarama.com, writing SEQUENTIAL SMARTS, a thorough series of articles about marketing comics from the perspective of a small press / self-publisher (currently on hiatus).

Eric is also a foolish man that tries to make a living by running a web/graphic design agency.

Chris Barrett (Metropulse, Knoxville, TN) writes, "The people who inhabit Altman's slightly skewed world proffer whatever wisdom they have to share not by speaking directly to the viewer, but by being overheard while talking to themselves." Altman agrees..

Astounding Tales Presents: Rooftops #1 premiered in July 2010 and most recently, issue #4 hit the stands of local comic shops in April 2011.

In addition to his comic projects, Steven also paints and does illustration work. His watercolor and acrylic works have been featured in gallery shows and art fairs in Louisville, Ky. He has also done promotional and CD cover art for bands such as Slithering Beast and Uh Huh Baby Yeah.

He recently joined Quarantine Comics and is currently working on a title there.

Philip says, "I'm the Ohio River Valleys version of the Toxic crusader with hunger pains for pencil shavings and lead poisoning.

Since then, he has sparked an interest in children's books. In 2007 he published his first in a series entitled, When I Was Little..., a picture book of his fondest childhood memories. The following year he published the cleverly titled sequel, When I Was Little Too, which carried on the tradition of re-living one's youth.

During 2009, he held a submission contest asking people to share their favorite childhood memories. The selected entries would become the focus for his third book, When You Were Little.

In 2007 he also launched his own preprint t-shirt line called Kenfunky Tees, which he also designed and hand printed himself.

He has also provided work/cartoons for humor magazines CRACKED, Jokester, and Thwack. He is currently working on his creator-owned comic book project, the Western Kentucky-based heroes Red Mullet & CowBoy, which was a top 50 finalist in the Platinum Studios' Comic Book Challenge in 2006, & the 4th Place finisher in the 2008 Comic Book Challenge. He's also just begun developmental work on his second creator-owned idea, BobCat.

This prolific creator’s work includes two graphic novels featuring his supernatural adventurer Omar Lennyx, and the award-winning Tales From The Motherland, a graphic novel based on African folktales and mythology.

Expanding on a story from Tales From the Motherland, Sterling developed a comic strip centered around the female warrior Ntombinde (pronounced “in-tum-BEN-dee”). In 2009, the strip debuted in a major national test market, Fort Wayne, Ind., in INK, a bi-weekly community newspaper.

With imaginative stories, exciting art and vivid coloring, Ntombinde is popular with readers of all ages across all demographic groups.

He fancies himself a writer and has been know to produce blogs, short stories, and graphic novels that have gobs of naughty words in them and children’s books that have none. Occasionally, he gets it backwards but, hey, that’s what editors are for.

He currently lives just outside Cleveland, OH with his cute albeit not so intelligent pup, Chloe Godzilla Cvetkovic.

And he very rarely, if ever, speaks in third person.

Victor is also the creator of The U Cre-8 Comics line, an innovative approach to combining comics and the classroom. With a mix of both literary and visual arts instruction, the U Cre-8 line builds an appreciation for creative expression as well as an interest in reading. The Character Crafter Workbook has students use an application process to make their own comic creations from the ground up, much in the same characters are created in the comic book industry.

In 2007 Pam took the fledgeling Poser comic genre to new heights with the debut of her long-running graphic novel series, House of the Muses: The Latter Days of Sappho of Lesbos. Her series has won numerous reviews and mentions, and she is able to count herself among some of the most successful artists in Independent comics. She began her equally-popular sci-fi series A Deviant Mind in 2010.

An accomplished penciler as well, her pencils can be found in House of the Muses #3 and an upcoming episode of Roy Duncan's Frankenstein Apocalypse. House of the Muses is available in paperback worldwide, and both her series are available in comic format at IndyPlanet.com.

Currently he is self-publishing his first comic book, Man Made Monster, which he created and is pencilling. Pre-orders are available at his website and he will be discussing the book and passing out an ashcan of the pencils at the Derby City Comic Con.

"The secret to making it in comics," he says "is to do it for the love of the genre. Don't do it for the money or fame or TV or movies. Do it because you love it. Everything else will fall into place."

William is also the founder and Creative Director for Dream In Color Entertainment.

Why do you have all of those, anyway?

One day an ugly little baby was born. It was named Crackhead Press and now runs on whatever fuel Justin (angryblue.com) & Jeral Tidwell (humantree.com) happen to cram into it. Established in 2005. They print books, posters and art prints.

Other works include stories in Break the Line #’s 1-3 and the occasional pin-up.

Michael also recently provided the interior artwork for Bluewater's femme fatale action-fest VSS vs. Gearz one-shot, as well as other pinups and covers for their upcoming Rain mini-series. Currently Michael is providing covers, layouts and inks on another independent title, Massively Effective—a pastiche of superhero and "buddy comedy" stories—as well collaborating on a yet-to-be-announced property with industry veteran Rusty Gilligan.

Michael spends his free time worrying about expenses and the deadlines he's supposed to be taking a break from, though he'd much prefer to simply enjoy good company, movies, games and comics. Karaoke on Friday nights fits into the mix occasionally.

After publishing over 200 book covers he created his signature piece, Zombie Sam, which gave birth to his Dead White & Blue series and has amassed a loyal fan base that transcends all genres and stereotypes.

In addition to creating art in his studio he also attends over 20 events per year, most by invitation as Artist Guest of Honor, and has launched a line of apparel and merchandise featuring his art. His art book, For The Love Of Monsters, is out now and his graphic novel, Dead White & Blue Comics, is scheduled for release later in 2011.

Jim is also the Head Writer and Editor for Dream In Color Entertainment.
