Elizabeth Leggett is a Hugo award-winning illustrator whose work focuses on soulful, human moments-in-time that combine ambiguous interpretation and curiosity with realism. In 2012, she ended a long fallow period by creating a full seventy-eight card tarot in a single year.  From there, she transitioned into freelance illustration.  Her clients represent a broad range of outlets, from multiple Hugo award-winning Lightspeed Magazine to multiple Lambda Literary winner, Lethe Press. She was honored to be chosen to art direct both Women Destroy Fantasy and Queers Destroy Science Fiction , both under the Lightspeed banner. She has been working for Lightspeed Magazine since 2014.

As a boy growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Frank Schurter read a lot of Ray Bradbury short stories, watched a lot of Star Trek and Twilight Zone , and wanted desperately to draw comic books. He discovered the joys of digital illustration while earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts with a Major in Illustration at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Against considerable odds, he found employment doing illustration, animation, and game design, including many years at DreamForge Intertainment in Greensburg, PA with Scot and Jane Noel (later to become founders of DreamForge Magazine). 

Nowadays, Frank is a Web Design and Development instructor at Pittsburgh Technical College. A lifelong student of comedy, he also leads and performs with the Amish Monkeys comedy improv troupe.
