SHANE REILLY is an Irish artist with an affinity for radical nonduality. Formerly an architect, Shane changed his practice to focus on creating fine art in 2019 after one of his pieces, ’Sentience’ went viral. His practice combines commissioned and personal work using whatever media are appropriate to each piece: drawing, wood carving, painting, digital to his own blood (for an upcoming book with award winning writer, Hamant Singh). By combining various media and styles, as well as being inspired by a multitude of sources, Shane typically takes a mixed media approach, aiming to create unique art, be it traditional fine art, video or music. His creative process involves allowing each piece to evolve naturally via creative flow.

Sebastian Gray is a Vancouver based writer of dark fantasy and horror fiction. Her stories have been featured in Subterrain, Planet Scumm, and on the NoSleep podcast. She is generally a much sweeter and more optimistic person than her fiction would indicate, although she does sometimes wonder if we weren't all swallowed by a carnivorous space god sometime in the nineties, and if 'reality' as we know it isn't the product of hallucinogens excreted by its unfathomably slow digestive system. Sebastian lives in a tower by a train station with her childhood best friend and a collection of stuffed animals.
