About the ARTISTS
Kevin BIXBY
Raised on the rough streets of Lake Zurich, Bixby consumed a steady diet of 80s classic cartoons like He-Man, Super Friends, Thundercats, GI Joe, The Real Ghostbusters, DuckTails, little bit of Davey and Goliath (to avoid complete corruption), and maybe a few peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He honed his style and started small doing party flyers for friends. In 1999, along with Arthur Bixtone, Bixtone Productions was created during a stint at the CLC Chronicle. Bixtone Productions introduced College Hell which ran in various local college newspapers until 2003 when the two published their first mini comic.
They hit the Wizard World Convention scene to peddle their wares. During this time Bixby collaborated with Chicago band get everet to produce album covers and special get everet comics for their Wasted Potential and self titled albums.
Over the next few years the Bixtone Productions crew produced a slew of mini comics, live art performances, and numerous paints for nieces and nephews.
In 2016, Bixby and Bixtone contributed to the Hero Initiative Charity Comic Book as well as a special Sponge Bob collab boom for Cozi.
Currently, Bixby is working on the #FckingForty project helping finish Ed Siemienkowicz's autobiographical graphic novel, due to be published in 2018.

Arthur BIXTONE
Very little is know about Arthur Bixtone. Only Kevin Bixby has seen the artist without his mask, which Bixby has reportedly vowed to never discuss since it was "too traumatic ".
Bixby has also said about Arthur Bixtone;
"He's an okay artist. He has a weird sense of humor. Really, if I could, I ditch him and do my own thing. I don't really need him but he's an absolute wizard at paperwork. When we were setting up Bixtone Productions, he had me sign a 50 year commitment letter without my knowledge. Now I can't get rid of him. We did one thing together and he keeps showing up, everyday. If anyone out out ther can help, I'd appreciate it".
Bixtone's only reply to that statement;
"Yeah, he's my bitch now"
