UNI the Donkey Unicorn by Edgar Reynoso

I grew up in Summit, Illinois. I am a web and graphic artist who created a thriller. The main protagonist, UNI the Donkey Unicorn, is created for Earth by the Universe's creator in order for UNI to use reality warping abilities to mentally torture misguided people and drag them through the pain they inflict on others, and will cause an emotional shock and humble their perspective of life. UNI the Donkey Unicorn is inspired by a couple stories I heard as a child. Apparently, a relative of mine was going to night clubs too much. One night, he met a girl at a dance. She invited him to go back to her place. He asked her to wait, because he needed to get his bike. When he mounted his bike, he noticed that she had a head start. He pedalled as fast as he could, but could not catch up to her. Suddenly, something grabbed his front tire and flipped him over. He was so shaken up by the event that he stopped going to night clubs altogether. The second story is of another relative of mine that was frightened at a bar and avoided them for a long time. Apparently, he was drinking so much at a bar that he saw a humanoid donkey sitting at the table next to him.

Mata Hari by Christina Hirko
@chirko21

After obtaining a masters in Fine Arts at Texas A&M, Christina continued her travels to Zhengzhou, Henan, China for a year where she taught. Influenced by authors, such as Paulo Coehlo, and artists like Mihaly Zichy, she currently is exploring art that embodies the sexual and sensual, with autobiographical elements and a photographical realism. Margaretha Geertruida, a "femme fatale" who in her own pursuit to use others, was used as a scapegoat and executed, labeled a 'German Spy' by the French Government despite an abysmal lack of evidence or case against her. She was a famous dancer, revered for her 'exotic' performances despite them being entirely made up and only minimally influenced by her time overseas. She reinvented herself as 'Mata Hari'.

Men and Sticks by Luna Rail

I'm a Chicago based artist and co-founder of Agitator a Co-operative Gallery here in Chicago. This is pretty much the extent of my cartooning career. I made them back in, I think 1992. I made them for a friend whose birthday was coming up as something of a birthday present. He was an interesting, multilingual guy from Arkansas who would make promises to beat people and things with sticks when he got upset or faux upset. I printed these out on card stock. Put postage on them and his address and put them in envelopes. I sent the envelopes to friends of mine in an array of places around the world. So, on his birthday he got this series of postcards from a man in Quebec asking about his girlfriend in French, two women in Rome who beckoned him back to a romantic trieste underneath the pines in regional Italian, from a man in rural Alamance County NC quoting bible verses about snakes (Paul maybe) with misspellings, and others. Never made comics again. Don't know why. It was fun.

Pascal Saint-Clair is a fantasy illustrator, comic book artist, graphic novel illustrator and writer. With a previous long existence in the videogame industry, the present focus is on illustration or artwork alongside design work. Primary influences are artists Hans Ruedi Giger and Geof Darrow. The attention in illustration is primarily a high amount of detail and contrast, as well as an effort to captivate audiences whenever writing is being created. These ventures are enjoyable whether for personal projects as well as for any client and their requirements. The work is futuristic, dark, dystopian and influenced by American as well as European comic books and graphic novels. A high amount and level of detail is one of the values here, as well as efforts to tell a compelling story.
