About Len Peralta: (source: http://www.lenperalta.com/about/)

My name is Len Peralta and I am an Internet cartoonist.

I believe in many things. Ghosts. Elves. Bigfoot. But most of all, I believe in
making art affordable for everyone.

I’ve been very fortunate to do some interesting illustrations. I’ve drawn princes throwing up. I’ve drawn Internet rock stars dressed up in skin-tight catsuits. I have illustrated a few books. I’ve drawn art for a card game about medical malpractice. Even the New Yorker has shown off my stuff.

I’ve drawn hoboes and molemen and superheroes and video game characters. You know, all the stuff that would end up in the margins of your notebooks in grade school, high school and college. Somehow I’ve managed to eek a living out doing these things. No one is more amazed at this fact than I am.

One of the things I love about what I do is that I can wake up every day and never know what my pencils and art pens will be drawing that day. It’s almost as if they leave my drawing table at night on mad adventures to bring back incredibly geeky booty for me. I love them for that. Even though they are just inanimate objects.

If you like my work, please consider purchasing a piece of art for yourself I will gladly draw you a monster or perhaps even a twisted caricature of yourself. You could even hire me for a bigger project. And yes, while I do like goofy and interesting art, I do draw other things that aren’t geekish and strange. Just ask me.

Thanks for being interested in my work enough to read this. I appreciate all the support and encouragement I have been given about my art. If it wasn’t for your kind words, I’d probably be selling pants to old men.

TOOLS I USE:

2H and 4H Pencils. Watercolors. Faber-Castell Pitt Pens (size B, mostly). Micron pens for details (Size 005, 01, 02 and 03). Prismacolors. Wacom Tablet. Mac G5. I use any kind of cardstock I can find and smooth Bristol board for bigger projects.

About Bob The Squirrel: (source: http://bobthesquirrel.com)

“this is about bob.  he’s a squirrel. a very loud and yet subtle squirrel.

Where do I begin?… probably at the beginning. My name is Frank Page—I am an illustrator and cartoonist in Central New York. Currently I am a graphic designer and editorial cartoonist at the Rome Daily Sentinel.

In the fall of 2001, I moved to Utica, NY. One saturday morning I was laying on the couch watching M*A*S*H and I happened to look out the window. What I saw would invariably change my life for better or for worse.
What I saw was a squirrel—kinda like when Bruce Wayne was trying to decide on what he should be and that pesky little bat came flying through his window. I didn’t decide that I wanted to become SQUIRRELMAN— bear with me.” – read more at Bob The Squirrel

About Dead Duck: (source: jayfosgitt.com)

Stop thinking of death as an abstract concept. He’s a living person (well, more like un-living). His name is J.P. Yorick, better known as the Grim Reaper. When your drunk uncle fell off the roof and impaled himself on a lawn gnome, J.P. was there. When the dictator of some fourth world nation was assassinated with a pillow case full of lit charcoal, J.P. was there. When Elvis croaked on the can with a gut full of drugs and a half completed bowel movement on his to-do list, J.P. was there. But he wasn’t happy about it.

It was eons past when J.P., already a crotchety soul with a six-carton a day smoking habit, took over a previously unclaimed pocket of afterlife and built the city of Rigormortitropolis, outpost for his company, RIP Inc. Here he brought the dead to be processed before being sent to their final destinations, the last rest stop on the road trip to oblivion. Gradually, those who had nowhere better to go stuck around and built up the city’s ever-swelling population.

For countless eons, J.P. shouldered the company workload himself. But during the dark ages, thanks in part to the plague and an axe-happy penal system, the workload became too much for J.P. to handle. He soon hired an ambitious young corpse named Estelle to run the home office. But even that wasn’t enough. J.P. needed a man in the field to do his deliveries. A lackey, a patsy, a toadie…a minion.

Enter Dead Duck, the flat footed, scrappy little punching bag that J.P. had met under mysterious circumstances and adopted as his ward. With no one better to do his bidding, J.P, made Dead Duck his first minion, responsible for delivering the dead in all their forms. But because his confidence in Dead Duck was on shaky ground, J.P. gave him a zombie sidekick, the astutely named and bubble-headed Zombie Chick.

More minions would fill J.P.’s ranks as the years wore on, but Dead Duck was always the stand out. With a knack for landing the weirdest and most unconventional deaths (and a bigger knack for screwing them up somehow), his work history became the stuff of legend. But Dead Duck has always managed to keep things in perspective. After all, it’s not the most glamorous gig to deliver the dead. But it’s a living.

About Comic Rocket: (source: comicrocket.com)

“Once upon a time there was Serialist, a crowd-sourced bookmarking tool for webcomics created by Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp. This tool allowed Jamey to keep track of the 800 or so webcomics he read much easier than RSS or browser bookmarks did. The two creators toiled quietly and enjoyed their comics.

Meanwhile, in 2011 Andy Grossberg and Tim Shields formed a business called Comic Rocket based around a Facebook app that would let people read online comics for free while interacting socially. They joined the Portland Seed Fund’s first class and received invaluable advice and a little scratch to pursue the vision. With their deep experience in the comics and games domains they lined up deals with major publishers and let the application loose on the world.

One day, Jamey happened upon a demo Comic Rocket was giving at the Portland State Business Accelerator. He was fascinated by the places they were taking comics and by that shiny thing colloquially known as “”graphics.”" Before long he was signed on to become Chief Technology Officer of Comic Rocket. Shortly after that, it was decided the business would pivot into the growing field of webcomics. Comic Rocket v2 came about when the guys merged their businesses and a new vision was born.
