SPACE Exhibitor Bios - Part 5

Courtney Hahn:
Hailing from Indiana, Courtney tends to write a lot about space, loneliness and cowboys. Weird right?

McKenna Henson:
Located in Columbus, Ohio, Mckenna is a hard working cartoonist and illustrator. She specializes in digital and traditional art, doing commissions as a side job. Often times you'll find her in a nearby coffee shop working on comics, drawings or sketches. In her down time, shes usually with her family, or working prolifically on her school work.

Stephen Hines:
Stephen Hines was spawned, and currently lives, in Ohio. When he’s not infiltrating the system by teaching high school English, he’s holed up in his home writing. So far he’s published one graphic novel (Valedictorian USA: Vol. 1), a young adult novel (Hocus Focus), a short story in a dystopian sci-fi anthology (Das Krakenhaus Publishing) called The End of the World as We Know It, a one-shot surrealist horror comic (Icon-O-Plastic), and has several ongoing comic book series (Valedictorian USA, Crackerstacker, Zombie Fabulous!, and The Soccer Mom Killer). His memoir, Rebirth Defect: My Journey From Catholic Altar Boy to Teen Atheist to Adult Christian Metal Evangelist and Back to Atheism, was released in June of 2017 and will surely alienate the few friends he still has.

J.M. Hunter:
Originally from Southern California, J.M. Hunter is a recent transplant to the Columbus area after envisioning his purpose here for the last several years. Currently teaching and focused on The Young Adult Creator's Alliance, (YACA), J.M. Hunter and family are enjoying introducing creating comics and art to the next generation and Columbus's unsuspecting comic fans. Strap in!

Russell Jackson:
Russell Jackson is a writer and illustrator from the neighborhood of Louisville, KY inspired by everything from Francis Bacon to Futurama. His current project, Crawling Chaos, is an affectionately parodic take on the horror of H. P. Lovecraft and the over-the-top bravado of heavy metal. He is also known for his portraits of musicians, painted directly onto vinyl records.

Jinx:

Canada Keck:
Ruminera Comics, created by Canada Keck, is an on-going series of comics that look at both the darkness and the light in her experiences.  Canada is a sociologist by training who started writing comics about five years ago, when she stayed up all night and wrote a 24-page comic in 24 hours.  Since then she has self-published six autobio comics as well as having several short comics appear in anthologies.  She has edited five anthologies for the Sunday Comix group, as well as curating exhibits of comic art for Wild Goose Creative, including the Comics vs Art show, which is in its third year.  She engages in community outreach, hosting kids’ tables for creating comics at various events as well as teaching comics workshops for children.  In her spare time, she makes the best cat toys in the universe, as well as a host of other tentacled creatures.
