Allie Kerr
Author – All Fashions of Loveliness

Allie Kerr is a large, amphibious mammal, native to the Pacific Northwest.

Her natural state is best described as a gibbering bundle of fiendish glee. When she isn’t giving respectable people headaches by doing Balkan dances on their skylights, she is developing new and improved ways of setting things on fire, hanging upside down from the ceiling, and getting enough iron in her diet without resorting to chewing on roofing nails.

She was once bitten by a cow, but does not expect to be growing udders or chewing on the front lawn any time soon.

Katie Casey
Author – Alice’s Tumble

Katie likes to write things and sew things. She may appear to be a tiny air-headed pixie, but don’t be fooled: It’s all a clever ruse covering up a plot for world domination. Those doodles of flowers and smiling sunshines in her notebooks are actually elaborate schematics. Shh.

Professor Offlogic
Author – Towards a Brave New Land (and the Making Thereof)

‘Prof. Offlogic’ is the alter-ego of Sam Kimery, who tinkers, writes and designs obscure mixed-signal electronics in Tulsa, OK.
Over a stunningly mediocre career, Sam has worked in toy stores, funeral homes, amusement parks, flight simulation, and helped make the first working DVD possible. His house is infested with cats and small reptiles and several rooms are completely filled with bits of broken machines. ‘Offlogic’ refers to a common type of digital output circuit, but it’s been adapted as a philosophy as well.

Sam Haney
Illustrator – Liberty

I’m better with pictures than words – I firmly believe that the only way to communicate who you are is through your work, and I’m always trying to refine my style to express who I am and what I want to be. My biggest influences come from subjects that explore similar themes – I’ll devour books on art, science, philosophy, and speculative fiction at breakneck speeds, and spend the rest of my time integrating those new perspectives into what I create. I’m an impending graduate of Northern Illinois University’s Illustration program, and was a 2009 semifinalist in the Society of Illustrators’ annual student competition.

Ms. Scary Boots
Illustrator – All Fashions of Loveliness

Ms. Scary Boots is trained as a physicist but regularly deploys her creative A-bomb in whatever field looks poorly defended at the time. She writes amusingly about science as Schrodinger’s Kitten and for money in The Sky At Night and the Physics World comedy column (oh yes). Sporadically, she draws a comic, Apostrophe and Coma, about a girl-monster trying to win her mother’s approval as a femme fatale, aided only by her best friend and creation, a Combined-Hoodoo-and-Power golem cat thing. In addition she draws things, the least obscene of which can be found on her DeviantArt page. Her preferred tokens of appreciation are super sour sweets, cider, and kittens.

Juan Navarro
Illustrator – On Race and Steampunk and The Mary Golden

My work isolates the world into a more manageable space, be it in design, illustration, or Sequential Art, honing technique and technology. The focus is the process, each piece is a journey in my desire for a certain project, vision or idea, to it’s best potential, for a simple understanding and control of the daily universe.
