Teo Suzuki is an Asian-American artist raised in New Jersey but currently based in New York City. The first comic to ever be distributed by Epic Wayne Press was his graphic novel named Midpoint. Though that comic is now on permanent hiatus, it served as an important stepping stone for Teo as an artist and had a successful print run, selling nearly every printed copy. His next project is a comic called CULTURAL RESET, which will be the greatest comic book ever made.

  Cyd Levine is a Jewish artist raised in Toronto, Canada but currently based in New York City. Cyd's main cartooning project is the genre-mixing ongoing series Styxville, but that doesn't stop her from posting biting and hilarious autobiographical shortwork in between. Styxville has also had a small print run with even more on the way! But what's most important is that Cyd is the co-founder of Epic Wayne Press which is why I'm making all these writeups and not her.

  Apollo Baltazar is a trans Filipino-American artist raised in southern California but currently based in New York City. He works primarily in the field of autobio comics, and has multiple complete works in published comics magazines. He's also dating Teo, which was clearly a malicious scheme to get into this artist collective (frankly digusting if you ask me). Apollo used to be big into capybaras but ever since he started having favorite dog breeds they've been left in the dust.

  Maddy Jones is a trans artist raised in New York and is currently based in the city. Her main comic is a sprawling sci-fi epic called CHOSEN, which she's been slowly building material for for years and it will soon be one of the great works of comic art. It has furries though?? And not even in the alt way so like. Whatever. Sadly, Maddy Jones passed away on May 12th, 2023.

  Emily Zullo is a cartoonist and animator based in New York, making extremely cool and touching works exploring the ennui of young adulthood. Through energetic, charming art, full of alt-comix flavour, and engaging, compelling interpersonal character dynamics, Zullo makes art that transports the reader into every story. There's not a better indie cartoonist for the costal elites reading this sentence right now!

  Maggie Michel is a black illustrator and cartoonist based in New York City. While primarily making large-scale illustrative work in both scope and ambition, she also creates short comics with an eye for the technical production aspect of visual art. It should also be noted that two different people turned down writing this bio due to lack of confidence which is crazy how does it feel to be a fucking MYSTERY Maggie.

  Harper Shin is a non-binary Asian-American artist raised in Oregon and is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Their artwork has a impressive formalist slant to it and that can be seen in the various short comics that they post online. But beyond comics they have interests in many other kinds of visual representation like painting, something the rest of our asses should be doing but aren't. Harper also gave me a really low quality picture for their profile and I'm not sure why.

  Evan Menezes is a Portugese-American artist raised and currently based in Massachusetts. Evan has done a lot of commissioned work making fullbody illustrations for various internet projects, building up an impressive catalog of character illustration. Evan is now in the beginning stages of making his new comic called Blue Sun, a work I'm personally highly anticipating. However, his best art comes from the stupid drawings he made for our D&D campaign which you will never ever see, sorry!
