Josh Keyes (born August 17, 1969 in Tacoma, Washington) is an American contemporary artist who works with painting, drawing, and installation art. He currently works out of Oakland, California. His work has been described as “a satirical look at the impact urban sprawl has on the environment and surmises, with the aid of scientific slices and core samples, what could happen if we continue to infiltrate and encroach on our rural surroundings.” While many reviews point out the environmental commentary of his work and his handling of animals, Keyes explains that much of his imagery comes from old science-fiction movies and textbooks from the 1940-70’s.

Peter Kuper (born September 22, 1958) is an American alternative cartoonist and illustrator known for his autobiographical, social, and political observations.

Besides his contributions to the political anthology World War 3 Illustrated, which he co-founded in 1979 with Seth Tobocman, he is currently best known for taking over Spy vs. Spy for Mad magazine; it had passed through various hands after its creator Antonio Prohias retired, but Kuper’s version has appeared without interruption since 1997.

Kuper has produced numerous graphic novels which have been translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Swedish and Greek, including award-winning adaptations of Franz Kafka’s Give It Up! and the Metamorphosis.

Kuper’s Eye of the Beholder was the first comic strip to ever regularly appear in the New York Times. His most recent book Stop Forgetting to Remember covers the birth of his daughter, 9/11, and other vicissitudes in his life from 1995-2005.
