Our Story

It started in 2019 as a small 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 helping an ever widening circle of artists. 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 webcomics platform, YouTube channel, publishing house, education 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.
