Col. JD Wilkes
"Colonel" J.D. Wilkes whiles away much his time sipping mint julep and languishing in the shady,
tall-columned veranda of his quaint farm house in rural Paducah, Kentucky.
But when those bullfrogs get to croakin', J.D. hops on the sawdust trail & sees the world in his carny-themed, hillbilly band "the Legendary Shack*Shakers". Painting gawdy sideshow banners and drawing his weekly comic strip "Head Cheese" for the Nashville RAGE also make for one exhausted fella.
J.D. has exhibited his comic art and freakshow banners in countless galleries and venues coast to coast. Patrons of his art have included Sony Records, RCA Records, Bloodshot Records, FoxNews Channel & PBS.
He's also been a regular contributor to Snicker magazine, Alarm magazine and U. Magazine.
Wilkes' many influences include Thomas Nast, John Severin, Wm. Pene DuBois, R. Crumb, Joe Coleman, and the good blokes at Viz Comic. He also holds a Bachelor's degree in Studio Art from his dry-county alma mater, Murray State University...in beautiful, scenic western Kentucky.
Shawna Flavell
Shawna wore an eye patch once and didn't really like how it threw off her perception...but she still wants to be a pirate. Other things she would like to spend part of her life being include: a trapeze artist, a glass blower, a mermaid, librarian, invisible, double jointed, face painter, a member of the Von Trapp family, bartender, mountaineer, sky diver, cyborg, ninja, bounty hunter, archeologist, museum curator, hair dresser (only because they know everyone's secrets), whittler, repo man...and there's more but we’ll stop.

Arnav Sheth
Arnav Sheth is a runner, blogger, film buff and foodie, not necessarily in that order. He is currently finishing up his doctorate in applied mathematics, where he endeavors to understand the nature of chaos and makes futile attempts to master it. He blogs under the holier-than-thou monicker of The Great Ganesha, where he tries to bridge the gap between east and west coasts, cultures, and continents. These days he likes to listen to jazz, Indian classical, and a fusion of the two. His favorite filmmakers include the Coen brothers, early Jeunet and Caro, Govind Nihalani, Satyajit Ray, and many, many more. He lives in San Francisco, but he left his heart in Bombay.
