  • Kenneth Hunt

Since assuming his secondary duties with Box Press, Ken has shown remarkable aptitude for the business and marketing aspects of the industry as well. Tertiary responsibilities include pencilling duties on the premiere flagship title, 'Bloodlines', where his exemplary production skills will, undoubtedly, help launch a notable run for his project.

His embellishment over one of the most well-respected pencillers in the business is still regarded as a masterwork of the tradecraft. His production expertise is rounded out by his invaluable business perspective, gleaned from his years as a one-man company.

  • Bonnie Ann Godfrey
    Office Manager/Modeling Coordinator

    Besides her general duties (payroll, talent liaison, et alia), Bonnie has the unenviable task of hiring character models and coordinating both the production of true-to-form costuming and the models' adherence to established trade-show appearance times.
