David Dykes is a teenage boy, who writes stories about worlds thatshould really exist. He's been writing since he was 14, and hopes to have it figured out before 40.
Eric Hamilton is a deranged artist who paints everything from canvas to freight trains. He also writes poetry and enjoys sharing his spoken word at slams or cafes everywhere from NYC out to LA. He was born and raised in Las Vegas, spent a lot of time living in east Los Angeles, and is now unemployed and attending college as a journalism major in New Jersey, where you can find him at art galleries and coffee shops politicking with the poets, art-fags, and random transient folk. He's a bit of a broken man who receives a lot of undeserved attention from women, smokes cigarettes, stumbles in and out of short-term relationships looking for love, spends most of his time waiting for lung cancer and responses from publishers, and is known to occasionally set fire to a booklet of poems aged with the experience of time.
