Chris Beckett / On the Fly Publications
Growing up in a small town in Eastern Maine, his childhood involved piloting the Millennium Falcoln, battling Cylon Raiders, and always saving the girl. Now a real grown up, married, and the proud father of three boys, Tristen, Colin, and Ian, he only admits to sightings of those "big Corellian ships" a few times a year now, at most. He can be contacted at lucienthelibrarian@hotmail.com
Dan Fleming / On the Fly Publications
Tormented by the fact that his son is old enought to ask "What do you want to be when you grow up Dad?", Dan has decided to answer the same way he did when he was a lad of ten. "A catcher for the Chicago Cubs." But since spring training is in the desperately hot Arizona, he tirelessly plugs away on his computer,in a climate controlled room, still hoping to write the Great American Crime Novel.

Philippe Guillerm
Philippe Guillerm rew up in Paris, France. When he reached my twenties he decided to go travel and explore the world. He left France on a little sailboat called a “Caravelle”, barely 14 feet long! As the years passed, the boat got bigger; Philippe got married to Jackie, and had two daughters, Monique and Swanne (and many pets!). They continued sailing for many years and have visited great countries and beautiful places like Tahiti, Australia, Brazil, Argentina and one day, decided to stop in the United States!
Philippe has been working as a wood sculptor for many years and his work can be seen all over the world and now in the USA, but his passion for drawing started way before all that. "I was just a kid when I began drawing and I just kept doing it until it hit me, one day! There it was, on my scrapbook, that little guy that I had seen so many times at sea, all around the globe.“Bobby The Buoy” was born!"
Philippe and his family now live in Maine where there are many “Bobby the buoys”; "I even had one stuck in my rudder one day! I spend my time here in Maine doing a lot of sculptures and cartoons and I will soon come up with a new adventure for Bobby."

Joseph-Paul Howe
Joe's one great passion in life is drawing. "Ever since my dad bought me my first X-Men comic book when I was 8 years old, I knew that I wanted to draw comics. I draw whenever I can get the chance...creativity can never be denied...only put on hold for a little while." You can check out his work at:
