Our Story

It started in 2019 with a small decision to start a Sunday artists' brunch. Our backgrounds varied from comic book artists to animators, but we were more alike than different, and we were growing together. We realized that what we were doing was sorely needed and it was beginning to help an ever widening circle of artists in our orbit. We formed the official organization, run by Ike Crawford, Gary Bedell, Nate Howard, and James Rutherford. All the pieces keep falling into place as we continue to construct this behemoth: a production studio, webcomics platform, Youtube channel, publishing house, educational platform-----the Kaiju keeps growing, made from the passion and talent of our members and becoming something that is greater than the sum of our arts.
