Nanette Cloud
Nanette is a shapeshifting webwitch who makes intimate and otherworldly comics as an irreverent act of worship to Goddex’s of chaos, change, and fnord. If you’re interested in working together or buying a commission you can have an out-of-body experience and meet with her at a glimmering pool of lost souls in the ethereal spirit realm, or you can email her.

I am a prolific artist who is currently working with metal. I had the great fortune to attend Spokane Falls Community College for three years of art education in both 2D and 3D disciplines. My work at this point is metal covered boxes, jewelry, chains, etchings, hand-cast objects. I work at art for the better part of every day. I can’t imagine being happy doing anything else!

Tom Quinn
I work mostly in acrylic and oil with hard edges, intense colors, and finicky detail. I like to show what’s absurd but not impossible, to take the ordinary out of context, and to turn the familiar into the strange.
