Kiryu (桐龍)

Kiryu (桐龍) is a Japanese artist with a unique sound that moves beyond basic rock, exploring what an artist can do for music, instead of what music can do for an artist. With a distinctive style and keen awareness as a vocalist, Kiryu creates music that sets him apart from other musicians. Now focusing on his solo career with his self-described “sexy” music, his considerable experience and influences integrates many genres, from pop to rock and from electronic to hip-hop, and the result can be heard in his sound.

Keeper of secrets What can I say about me, if you don’t know me then find me, because trust me you are missing out. If you think you know me and think you can describe me you might want to try again, cause those who really know me, know that just about everything I can say about me, would pale in comparison to the actual experience of me.

T. Campbell

An ex-stage actor and failed Internet shut-in, T Campbell has written eighteen gazintillion pages of comics, won some awards and gotten high-flying writers to praise his work, so if you don’t love his series, it’s probably your own damn fault. Besides Guilded Age, his series include Quiltbag, Penny and Aggie, Fans, Rip and Teri, Widgetitis, Divalicious and Cool Cat Studio, plus about fourteen seconds’ worth of work for Marvel and Archie. He spends his “spare time” designing crosswords, dancing with the stars and seeking the Anti-Life Equation.

The Clockwork Dolls

When The Clockwork Dolls emerged onto the Steampunk music scene back in 2007, their mission was simple: To create music that serves not only as a source of recreation, but as a storytelling vehicle as well. Utilizing epic orchestral music and operatic vocals, The Clockwork Dolls established their presence in Steampunk music early on and were considered one of the pioneering bands to labeled under the “Steampunk” genre, along with the Vernian Process, Abney Park, and the Unextraordinary Gentlemen.

Birthed at Katsucon just four years ago after a group of crazed artists engaged in a round of special hugging, the self-described “Greatest Live Art Competition in the Known Universe” truly is unlike any other live event touring today. Super Art Fight is best described as a mixture of Pictionary and Pro-Wrestling, with larger than life personalities battling each other on the canvas, creating unbelievable art right before your eyes! No two shows are ever alike, so get ready for a once in a lifetime event!

They just say how professional he is as he lurks in modest internet fame, churning out captivating comics since 2004 in an artistic style that mystically abducts the essences of both western comics and eastern manga; blending them together through patent pending methods into an addictive drug that tantalizes the optic nerves in ways science has yet to be able to explain.
