Jonathan Chiotis is a writer of short stories and poems. He authored St. Anthony’s Fire in 2007 but since then has followed his passion for creating comic books. Doing the art, writing, and lettering for several mini comics with inept ability. Currently working on character creation with a focus on ultraviolent action, cinematic dialog, and the supernatural. He attended two semesters of art school, evidence which is undetectable in any of his works.

Aaron Brown is fully operational and all of his circuits are functioning perfectly. Living in Massachusetts he is the creator of #IOTCOMIC and the fortune telling comic Casbah The Rock. Caricaturist and solid band name inventor. Find his work at https://www.frogking.art/

You can see more of his work at https://tomlynottcomiclettering.myportfolio.com/. He has also been known to script a story or two.

Kaan Emre Kurt is an aspiring writer/artist from Turkey. He has been into comics since he was small but has really started leaning into it in the last two years. He mainly writes action focused comics but he’s been trying to branch out and try different stuff.

Ryan always enjoyed reading comics and copying the images, from Beano to the Real Ghostbusters to the Punisher. He joined a charity art group a few years ago which really got him back in to putting pen to paper. Now he is here at The Comic Jam and is getting to produce some great comics with other creatives.

Whether it’s novels, comics, or video games, C.J. Wilson loves telling character-focused tales that try for poignancy and depth… or at least for entertainment. He is currently pitching one novel, finishing another, and working as a lead narrative designer for a small game development project while penning comics. When he’s not writing or reading, you can find him gaming, cooking, hiking, traveling, or out at a show somewhere. He lives in Brooklyn, New York. He’s always open to new projects and loves talking writing, so feel free to reach out! http://cjwilsonstories.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/connor-d-johnson/

Mustafa Kemal Özdemir is an artist currently working on Los Vaqueros, a superhero comic about a group of vigilantes trying to fight against supervillains who have been ruling over the USA for the last two years.

Dave Hingley is an artist/creator/game designer living in England. He pulls dreams out of his head and displays them to the delight of everyone who views them. Let’s just pray he never has a nightmare… https://twitter.com/hingley_dave

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.

Rachel (she/her) is a California based artist with a quirky style, as she has been told. She likes cartoons, cute things, and spooky/creepy things. Puns, dark humor, and aged references are perfecto. See her work at https://www.instagram.com/rachelghenry/.
