Lionel K. Johnson
HIVE CEO & Lead Creative | ARTIST
The HIVE starts here, with the leader of our team and a fantastic artist. Lionel is an illustrator and cartoonist that loves to tell stories about doing the right thing. Growing up on MARVEL and DC Comics, his passion for a good superhero story is unparalleled. The age old battle of Good vs Evil is a complicated thing these days, and those lines can be blurred very easily. Don’t expect him to stay in that space though, as the Co-Writer and Inker/Colorist of WINDBREAKERS his work will going to some new places never before seen.
Christopher Rotondo
HIVE Co-Founder & Art Director | ARTIST
You’re more likely to find Chris head down at his drawing table sketching for hours than you are anywhere else. He’s an illustrator that wants to remind you of how real the worlds he creates can and should be. With that he goes head first into creating stories that play out more like 5 seasons of your favorite show rather than a 2 hour movie. Inspired by his love of Video game storytelling in titles such as “The Last of US“ and “UNCHARTED” he’s diving into his extensive list of story ideas to bring us WINDBREAKERS, as Co-Writer and Penciler of the book he’ll be bringing us to some of the craziest and weirdest parts of his mind, we hope you can handle it.
Kristel Becares
ARTIST
If you look through Kristel’s artwork, you might be able to hear it. Theres a certain style about her work that puts out an energy that can’t be denied. The images she creates have influences from fantasy, anime, music, and life itself. In our Team we want to bring out stories in the most interesting ways possible, and based on what Kristel has told us about her ideas, she’s got some really awesome and unique ways to show all of you.
Cole Wilson
ARTIST
Cole seems like he was born in the wrong era, we just can’t tell if it was too early or too late. On one hand he can come up with great fantastical tales of magic and various creatures of old. On the other he really likes robots and aliens. The work he does is always awesome to look at whichever he decides to do though. Cole will be creating some very interesting things with us, and will take us on journeys to great new worlds. Maybe we’ll find out when he should have been born along the way.
