Christian De Matteo is a writer and college professor, founder of Tellworthy.com and co-founder of FugitivePoems.com with artist-extraordinaire James Lines. He loves all forms of art and entertainment, enjoys long walks on the beach and other less sandy locations, and is fatally allergic to fluffy cats (in case you wanted to get rid of him). He can be found pontificating/dad-joking on Twitter: @CDMetc and @FugitivePoems. He cannot draw. Like at all.

Drawdrigo is an architect by profession and an artist by passion. While he spends most of his days designing buildings, his true love lies in creating comic book and manga illustrations. With a keen eye for detail and a talent for bringing characters to life, Drawdrigo spends much of his free time exploring different styles and techniques. His dream is to one day see his art gracing the pages of a comic book or on the cover of a graphic novel. When he’s not sketching or designing, Drawdrigo can be found lost in the pages of his favorite comic books, drawing inspiration from the greats who have come before him.
