John Smith:
Born and raised in Calgary Alberta, Canada, John's love for writing was thrust upon him as a result of his love for dessert of all things! At an early age, his Father would lock him in the basement and force him to write five pages a day, if he wanted dessert.
Over the years, John's passion for writing has grown with his waistline. John holds a Journalism Arts Diploma from SAIT College and also a Communications Degree from the University of Calgary.
Writing professionally for more than seven years, John is a jack-of-all trades: Screen writer, with a few short movies under his belt, he is currently awaiting publication of his first full length. Playwright, who has written over five plays. Comic book producer, he has completed two comic books that are currently awaiting publication. In addition John creates custom comics for individuals and also writes the monthly series ''Career Comixs'' for Career Twister. Freelance journalist, John has worked for such publications as Pro-Contractor and the Calgary Sun. Novelist, John has written a 400 page fantasy novel that is currently awaiting publication.
When not attempting to take over the world with his word processor, John will most likely be found restoring vintage muscle cars, racing cars at the track, or curled up reading a good book/comic book.

Mike Gaughran: It all started in the early 80s when cartoons were still good and the world pretty much revolved around the teenage mutant ninja turtles. Fascinated with such memorable titles like Thundercats, Transformers, Bravestar, Centurions etc Mike began by trying to emulate his favourite characters onto paper which grew into creating additional characters for these shows and making his own little universes.
But as time passed and ageing kicked in he started to realise it was no longer enough to just watch his favourite cartoons and thus began his fascination with other medias; films, music, architecture, video games, photography. Anything that he could draw inspiration from. Anything that could develop his mind, open his eyes to new worlds and learn new techniques.
He is a man that knows no limitations. He excites at any opportunity to flex his overdeveloped creativity muscle and has the astounding ability to make ANY project he works on fun and exciting! Mike holds a
Graphics and Illustration degree from Brighton and a Computer Animation degree from Portsmouth and this has helped to make him an inspiring comic book artist, Mike has created numerous custom comics for individuals. He has also come up with hundreds of unique character designs for three graphic novels currently in production. In addition, Mike is a
talented tattoo artist, video game artist, music cover and album designer. He has the ability to take the most mundane of subjects and breathe new life and creativity
into anything! Mike doesn't just think outside the box, he redefines the ''stuff'' the box is made of! |
