An Experimental Life

Here's a little info about (and a picture of) each of the members of the team.

Rob Hamm
Rob writes the scripts (with input from Shan and Amee). He often acts out the action in the episode of the day while writing it, and sometimes poses for a character or two. He also assembles the comic in Photoshop, does most of the coloring and shading (Shan used to do all of the coloring), takes care of all web, server, and technology-related issues, and cracks the whip. He needs to update his staff picture to show off the eyebrow and "snakebite" piercings (Thanks, AJ), but this is the most recent photo. He is very proud of his green hair.

Rob is friendly for the most part and tends to bounce like Tigger when enthused. He has been a soldier, a rock singer, a nightclub disc jockey, an MC, a waiter, a singing telegram messenger, a construction worker, a newspaper columnist, a web monkey, a call center supervisor, a game developer, a voice actor for an RPG companion disc, manager of a sound, lighting, special effects and mobile DJ company, and a burden on society, among other things. His claims to have been a demigod and the fifth Beatle are apocryphal, at best. He is narcissistic, bipolar, borderline OCD, and sometimes fancies himself a Renaissance man. It's a harmless delusion, though, so we tolerate it.

Right now Rob is pursuing an English degree full time (and is in the honors program!) with an emphasis in Creative Writing. Since half of his friends have published at least a couple of novels apiece now and keep bugging him about it, he is finally working seriously on his first couple of books. One of these days he is going to actually start posting to his blog at RobHamm.Com. He also runs a web hosting service, LawrenceHost.

Rob is an avid reader, a gamer (some Civilization and Master of Orion series, but mostly tabletop--you know, the kind with paper and pencils and dice) a martial artist, and a singer/guitarist/songwriter. You can contact Rob by using the contact link at the top of the page.

Shannon Henry
Shan did all of the original character design for the comic. She is taking a break from drawing it right now, but still inputs script ideas and occasionally helps Rob with the coloring and shading. She also tells Rob when the website is too ugly to bear. Often.

Shan is a little shy until you get to know her, but is nonethless responsible for much of the wackier stuff both in the comic and here at la casa. She has five years of fine arts and graphic design school under her belt, and has worked boring jobs she doesn't want to talk about. She is currently a graphic artist at Absorbent, Ink, and loves it there. And not just because they're fun at parties. They seem to really like her so far, too.

Shannon collects stuffed animals and Cthulhu merchandise. She likes video games in which she can continue stabbing people after they're already dead. Yeah, I know. We don't understand it either. She is also a big Inu Yasha and Trigun fan, and is a classically trained vocalist. Rob is trying to teach her to sing less perfectly so she can sing rock without making it sound like Handel's Messiah. Shan is a hockey fanatic, especially of the Flyers. She has been known to get violent over hockey, so please be careful.

You can see more of Shan's art at her DeviantArt page, and eventually at her own domain, KitsuneShan.Com. You can reach Shan by using the contact link at the top of the page.

Amee "Caska" Gilmore
Amee came on board to give Shannon a break for a few months, and is already proving to be a valuable member of the team, both for her inks, and brainstorming about story ideas.

This will be another paragraph about Amee.

This will be yet another paragraph about Amee. Lather, rinse, and repeat as necessary.

You can reach Amee by using the contact link at the top of the page.

Team
Rob and Shan live in Lawrence, Kansas (a tiny oasis of blue in a sea of red) near the downtown area. Don't laugh--It is much cooler than it sounds. Lawrence (also known as Larryville, home to University of Kansas, aka KU, and their Jayhawks) has been hailed as one of the top 100 small art cities in the United States and one of the top ten most liveable metro areas. You should all move here. Amee lives in Washington state, but we're working on that.
