Shawn Pryor

Shawn is the founder, creator, writer, waterboy, and manager of operations for PKD Media. Inspired by his love of the comic books, he dove head first into the art medium by writing his first comic book series, the buddy-cop comedy Mercury & The Murd in 2008. That led him to create/write several additional titles for PKD Media that will debut in 2009. Every single day he tries to come up with ways to take over the comics and media world, tries to put the emphasis of putting fun back into the comic book medium and in his spare time ponders if he’s related to the late-great comedian with whom he shares the same last name.

Daniel J. Logan

Daniel began drawing when he was old enough to grab something to make marks with. The truth is he only made marks on paper, until realizing that he could create things with his imagination and tools that make marks. He found that as he drew more and more he got better, and it fueled his need to do it all the time. He completed his art studies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and teamed up with Dave Dwonch of Big Monster Productions, on the comic book “Special Education.” He has also worked on “Earth Sons” (Dark Ocean Studios) and provides fantastic artwork for PKD Media’s “Exo-1 & the Rock Solid Steelbots.” Samples of his work and more information can be found at: http://djlogan.deviantart.com/.

Scott Bradley

Scott Bradley is one of the co-founders of Resolution Comics and the forthcoming graphic novel, “The Sound”.

So they each are contributing a story to Resolution Comics first publication; a 4 story anthology titled “From Here to There“, which is now available. Scott provides the artwork for PKD Media’s “Alpha Simian.”
