Our Artists
Erryn Barlow
Illustrator for ‘Buried Treasure’
Erryn is a Melbourne based artist and designer who specializes in painting and drawing. She is currently studying interior design. Erryn has always been drawn back to art, after finishing school she completed a diploma of visual arts that opened her eyes to the possibilities of the creative world. For a few years she was drawn to the dark side of consumerism and toyed with the idea of getting a mortgage. So she worked like a dog in administration for not enough money, but has now found a happier place in design. Most recently she has done some commission work in portraiture and enjoys immersing herself in decorative styles and colour themes. Erryn can be found on Facebook or contacted at erryn02 (at) hotmail (dot) com.
Galen Dara
Illustrator for ‘Double Dutch’
Galen used to hang out in the dark with her sketchbook, mining the nooks and crannies of her brain. Nowadays she keeps herself out of trouble illustrating for books and magazines, dabbling in comics, etc. She has illustrations in Rigor Amortis, Cthulhurotica, Crossed Genres, Sunstone, Broken Time Blues, and the forthcoming Fish anthology. She collaborated with John Nakamura Remy on the graphic novel, Traitors and Tyrants, published in Monsters and Mormons. Galen is the Art Director for Dagan Books, and blogs for both the Inkpunks and the FunctionalNerds. You can find her on Twitter @galendara.
Stephanie Martin
Illustrator for ‘Letters from the Monster Show’ and ‘The Empress and the Comic’
Paul Nicholson
Illustrator for ‘the Flower’
The urban landscape, dumpsters and hard rubbish are the starting point from which Paul finds his materials and inspiration. To Paul, hard rubbish is a graveyard of old ideals, the resting place of technologies superseded by bigger, smaller and faster. He tries to rescue these objects and ideas from their obsolescence and give them a new life, context and reinterpret them through sculpture, drawing, painting and animation/video. Paul considers obsolescence a relative, not absolute, term in the world of technology. To view Paul’s gallery, or contact him, visit his website at www.paul-nicholson.com

Peter Winton-Keirl
Illustrator for ‘The Terrarium’ and ‘City One’
Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Peter Winton-Keirl is a Digital Painter. He thoroughly enjoys noodles cheap enough to be dangerous, suits so expensive they confuse bats, and is allergic to superphosphate. During Pete’s senior years in highschool, he was told what secret agents actually do and he immediately stopped academia to instead pursue an educational career in not knowing just what to do with himself. That didn’t pay terribly well and now he paints pretty things while the whipcracking madman behind him throws money into the air, laughing and drinking chocolate from the [Censored] …and so currently his career builds steadily enough to keep him interested, but, not steadily enough to contain his excitement for creating strange new images for brilliant clients.
