Signe Damron is a poet, writer and the founder of Signe-ture Publishing, a micro-press based in Columbus, Ohio. It is focused on original literary work and collaborative, cross-disciplinary projects. Her publications include French Door to Foyer and Coalescence: A Holiday Collection, a multi-author, multi-genre anthology.

She is a recipient of the Greater Columbus Arts Council Artist Excellence Award and grant. Outside of her writing and publishing practice, she coaches and volunteers with Special Olympics, and is often in search of a good meal, good conversation or other art forms that shift how she sees the world.

Marcus is a self-taught mixed media visual artist and digital illustrator born in Cincinnati, Ohio, raised in Rochester, New York, and currently lives in Columbus, Ohio. His interests, rooted in storytelling traditions and focused on the creation of expressionistic abstracted and figurative images, explore and depict themes and ideas of Afro Surrealism, mythology/ folklore, dreams, symbolism, and social commentary. His works have been featured in a variety of exhibitions and publications. Currently represented by The Halley Gallery of New Albany, Ohio, Marcus is a self-described comic book nerd, a skilled but disgruntled ex-musician, a fledgling would-be poet, and the proud father of his two adult sons.
