AUTHOR BIO

Ben Franchi is a writer based out of Boston, Massachusetts. With an enthusiasm for literature, starting from high school and continuing through his time at Emerson College, Ben has always enjoyed observing the creative possibilities that are hidden throughout everyday life. Born in Winchester, MA, Ben was an aficionado for the strange and fantastic at a young age, a passion he has taken care to harbor throughout the years. An avid reader from a young age, Ben is constantly on the lookout for the next good book and is a fan of pretty much anything and everything put to print. When he's not traveling the backroads of Concord or taking photographs of the sunset, he enjoys reading about folk history, abstract art, and creative applications of architecture.

ILUSTRATOR BIO

Cheyenne Bigham always had a passion for art, from childhood all the way to college where she majored in art at the University of North Georgia. Her interests lie in visual storytelling with graphic novels, animation, stop motion animation, sculpting, puppetry, and illustration. Cheyenne was heavily influenced by the films and TV she grew up with, and creators like Jim Henson and Guillermo del Toro. Deciding to pursue her interest outside of education, she started with commission work and slowly built a portfolio of personal and commissioned art. Combining her interest in the unusual, whimsical, and her experiences of living in Georgia and Louisiana, she became more inspired by southern gothic imagery and aesthetics. She used this and her love of the kitschy vintage style in the majority of her art.
