We are legion

Max Hinz (Colors)

Two things about Max:
1. He's a Portland boy, born and raised back in 1984.
2. He has attended almost all the art schools in Portland Oregon.

Someone once told me: "When love beckons to you, follow her, Though her ways are hard and steep. And when her wings enfold you yield to her, Though the sword hidden among her pinions may wound you. And when she speaks to you believe in her, Though her voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall she crucify you. But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, If it finds you worthy, it directs your course."

Wally Jones (Plots & Lettering)

Held in a tamper resistant container since birth, Mister Jones is the mask behind the metaphor. When pressed and turned in the correct sequence, he issues forth silica packets, warning labels and the kind of "cures" that even homeopaths won't prescribe.

That being unsaid, Mister Jones is made of fists. Knuckles form the wrinkly surfaces of his brain. Thumbs comprise the striped mobius swirls of his frowns and smiles. His thoughts reflect this obsession, spitting out true power directly from the core of the earth and thus bound in pisohamatic style, deliver an internal dialog one abstractly conceived punch at a time. For the safety of sentient life, may these secret strikes remain concealed, forever.

Don't feed the artist.

Tristian Spillman (Scripts)

In addition to being an exceptional writer, Master Spillman is a celebrated stand-up comedian, a well-endowed lover and in fact the very anthropomorphic personification of humility. (We have video proof.)

Tristian lives in Portland with his beautiful wife, three better than average looking kids and a cat to which most observers seem to express ambivalence in regards to its attractiveness. For example they might say, “I don't know, it's an ok looking cat I guess.” During a six month period of his senior year in high school, Tristian could do backflip.
