Jeremy Gregory - Preliminary Sketch
Jeremy Gregory is an illustrator/artist from Tacoma, Wa. Since his graduation from the Art Institute of Seattle he has created graphics for all types of applications from skateboard designs and CD covers, to editorial illustrations, and his current monthly comic strip in the Tacoma City Arts, True Grit. His unique style of mixed media gives the artwork a very recognizable look. When he's not working on freelance illustration projects he is creating paintings/draings for gallery exhibits, and art shows around the Northwest. He shows regularly with the Seattle art collective Artifakt, which is one of the staples for the Seattle underground art scene. You can check out their website at Artifakt.org. "I enjoy the organic feeling of growth working from dark to light, and the physical act of scribbling takes me back to coloring as a child. My work is infused with a dark sense of humor which I try to relate to the view or theme." -Jeremy Gregory
Cassie Hodge - It's a Lullaby on Wonder Woman's Radio
Cassie has been living in Tacoma since 2007 working toward her architecture license. Her point of origin is middle of no-where Idaho; current location is north of the Ghetto. Both places continue to affect her frame of reference.

Kris Crews - Formative Moments: the Beginnings of Madeline Joy Crews
An avant-garde video producer since the age of 12, Kris Crews spends a significant portion of his life peering at both the mundane and the profound through the optics of a digital time machine. Predictably, like most dreamy eyed fathers, you will often see him, camera in hand, capturing light to share with the world at lightning fast speed.
Michael Herbert - \ˌrē-ə-ˈlīn\
