Entheogen Publications
Entheogen Publications was created due to a failed endeavor to become a screenwriter. I was accepted to the master's program at the New York Film Academy in California, but due to some personal reasons, I decided not to go. I've submitted some screenplays to national competitions, and while I didn't find success there, it did lead me down the path of graphic novels. My projects are funded on Kickstarter, and I've raised nearly 100k for their development over two different series. I have another series in the works and hope to launch that within the next 4-6 months. This will be a dark humor sword and sorcery tale. My projects have a lot of subtext to them and make no bones about the philosophy within them.

Sure. But with the right combination of possession, tenacity, and a positive attitude we will someday be able to make the Best. Comic. Ever. Period. Is this our year? Come and see for yourself. Oh yeah, we make toys, too. Some of the best you've ever seen, especially if you just started seeing today.

Heaton Comics
Heaton Comics sprung to life in the Summer of 2018 when a then 9-year-old Carter and 6 year old Ava made a handful of comics and then set up a table in our front yard to sell them for 50 cents each. The following year Heaton Comics made its full release in the Artist's Alley of the 2019 Boise Comic Arts Festival, getting big attention in the newspaper. The pair of kids under the Heaton Comics banner sold out of all prints, comics, and commissions taken during the event! Continuing to sell their original and fan-fiction comics on their Etsy shop the pair inspired their younger brother Logan in a big way even though he was only 3 years old.

Amy Maren Rice
Amy Maren Rice grew up on a dead-end street in the small town of Chubbuck, Idaho. Her childhood was filled with time to daydream, eat freshly shelled peas from the garden, and swing from the apple tree in her grandparent’s backyard. Her love of reading started at a very young age as she devoured books and peas by the handful under that same apple tree. Books became an obsession and soon her daydreams turned into poems, stories, and paintings. She attended Idaho State University where she earned a dual bachelor’s degree in advertising and public relations and fine art. She has her mother and grandmother to thank for a life full of painting and creativity and her father for her unique sense of humor. Fuzzwiggs the Switcheroo is her debut novel.

The Spooky Dinosaur
Spooky Dinosaur is the sobriquet of visual artist Nathan Veibell. As an eternal being going through his second play-through of life on Earth (gaining immortality his first time through) he reached the inevitable heat death of the universe, and time traveled back to the age of the dinosaurs. They were really fun, but now, after countless millennia of goings on he is trying his hand at the artist life, doing whatever art comes to mind. Working in mostly in watercolours, monsters and surreal works seem to be a favourite, things that ancient dark beings ask him to draw. He currently enjoys digging up ancient folklore and myths for artwork, and he'll enlighten you with a spoken performance about them if you linger too long. He is hoping to continue this path even further, before that heat death thing happens.
