About Our Artists:

Josh Kaput attends Grand Valley State University as a Film and Video major. While some artists are inspired by pictures and world events, Josh draws influence from his friends and all their wacky misadventures around campus.

Elizabeth Gearhart draws illustrations and a comic strip called 'Sconeborough' for The Current, the University of Missouri St. Louis's newspaper. She likes cats and watching cartoons.

Michael O'Brien draws the daily strip "Chasing Sheep off Tall Buildings" for the University of Maryland's student paper the Diamondback. His pick up line at parties is: "Hi, I draw the comic strip in the Diamondback." Mike often finds himself alone in bed at the end of the night. Visit his website www.chasingsheepofftallbuildings.com to find out more.

Leonid Pilchin is very much into Japanese comics and animation. "It's so beautiful and expressive. I wish I had more time to explore the wonderful world of comics, but school takes a lot of work and concentration." He is thankful for fun distractions like this contest that encourage him to embrace that world that he loves so much."

Jennifer Victor currently draws a comic entitled "Rambling Id" for the Daily Cardinal, an on-campus newspaper. She didn't get serious about drawing until junior high and beyond, when she started to doodle non-stop in her notebooks. Since wanting to learn more about comics, she reads them all the time.
