Richard Sirgiovanni:

Music and cartoons were always forefront for Richard Sirgiovanni. At a very early age Richard saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. The impact was life altering. Richard, was already an avid reader of comics, but now at seven years old began playing drums and drawing. These parallel roads created a self-taught drummer/cartoonist who whilst listening to rock n roll music copied everything he saw from newspaper comic strips to Marvel/DC comic books.
Richard’s interest in popular music and drawing continued as he was accepted to the prestigious School of Visual Arts in Manhattan where he studied cartooning and storytelling under Harvey Kurtzman (co-founder of Mad Magazine) and Will Eisner, (creator of The Spirit comics). Simultaneously, Richard played drums in an original rock band in New York City. The band was voted one of the top original acts by The Soho News. He crossed paths on the club scene with Madonna, Jon Bon Jovi, Twisted Sister, Cyndi Lauper and The Stray Cats.
Richard continued freelancing in art and music as a cartoonist becoming an award winning Creative Director in the advertising field. Having this deep passion for storytelling and music he thought to create an original idea combing rock n roll and cartoons…. Something magical and fun for kids with a positive message. The Grimps were born.
An original animated rock n' roll series for kids presenting original music. It’s time for The Grimps.

Paul D. Marks:

Paul D. Marks is the author of the Shamus Award-winning mystery-thriller White Heat, which Publishers Weekly calls a "taut crime yarn," and its sequel Broken Windows. Betty Webb of Mystery Scene Magazine says, "Broken Windows is extraordinary." Though set in the 1990s, both novels deal with issues that are hot and relevant today: racism and immigration, respectively, in the context of mystery-thrillers. His short stories appear in Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazines, among others, and have won or been nominated for many awards, including the Anthony, Derringer and Macavity.
