ROB RICHMOND
WRITER
A life-long musician, writer, and creative, Rob spent most of his childhood reading comic books, playing games, and making music. Graduated from the University of Virginia in 2002 with a degree in Anthropology, with a focus on ethnomusicology, he has spent the intervening years living and working as a musician and music professional. Aside from writing comics, Rob also works as an audio designer and engineer, and plays in numerous musical projects, including The Vailix, a female-fronted hard rock concept band based around the world of the Cloud Ocean. In his spare time he plays fetch with his miniature Australian cattle dogs, Luna and Astra.
JAKUB WISNIEWSKI
ILLUSTRATOR
A youth spent marveling at and emulating the artwork he found in Magic: The Gathering cards, Dungeons & Dragons monster guides, and animated cartoons like Yattaman and Dragon Ball, it is absolutely no surprise to anyone that Jakub has become an imaginative and brilliant artist. Years grinding through arts classes at local community centers prepared him for the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland, from which he graduated in 2015. Wanting nothing more than to make his living as a working artist, Jakub wasted no time making the decision to go full-time as a freelance artist for hire in 2016. Fascinated by mechanics and design, he has dabbled in creating games, and still loves getting together with friends for Starcraft Broodwar LAN parties. Despite having two musically competent siblings, Jakub cannot play a musical instrument to save his life.
