Aaron Azar is an Ohio-based illustrator, comic artist, and writer. Together with his three cats, he spends an absurd amount of time drawing pictures while listening to podcasts and livestreams. In his free time Aaron walks at local parks, is mediocre at video games, and enjoys a tasteful fart joke. He loves wearing clothes he knits himself, matched with at least 2 pins from his collection. He enjoys writing queer themes, story arcs about trauma, fantasy settings, and juicy romance.

Ai is interested in the democratization of knowledge and knowledge production, and writes and thinks about abolition, labor unions, intellectually rigorous forms of feminism, harm reduction, and new ways of organizing ourselves. When not reading a vast array of books or trying to wiggle hir way into projects with others, zie can be found watching the same 8 movies over and over as background noise and tweeting instead of writing.

Lee Onysko is a nonbinary comic and storyboard artist based in Ohio. Self proclaimed and friend endorsed robot lover, cat person, and space nerd, they love a good sci-fi/fantasy story but can always be tempted by the mundane and slice-of-life. When not drawing they can be found crocheting, working on custom dolls, or dreaming about building their own hydroponics system. While they work digitally for the most part, they are starting to branch out into working traditionally more with inks and colored pencils.
