About the artists:

Richard Gin was born of an engineer-immigrant father and quilt-making-Anglo-Saxon mother in suburban California in the winter of 1979. Those with a vested interest in his first eighteen years on Earth noticed his uncanny talents for visual arts -- talents that earned him several scholarships which he promptly blew on an education at Pratt Institute. He turned to photography after finding illustration too slow, graphic design too wonky and the film industry teeming with people. He still resides in Brooklyn and lives with the crushing stigma of being a Brooklyn Photographer every day. His website is here: http://richardgin.org and he is available for freelance editorial and commercial work. Have passport; will travel.

Mike Sacks has written for Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, The New Yorker, Time, McSweeney's, Radar, MAD, New York Observer, Premiere, Believer, Vice, Maxim, Women's Health, and Salon. He has worked at The Washington Post, and is currently on the editorial staff of Vanity Fair. His first book, And Here's the Kicker: Conversations with 26 Humor Writers About Their Craft, was released in July 2009. Some of those interviewed include: George Meyer, Harold Ramis, Al Jaffee, Buck Henry, Bob Odenkirk, Stephen Merchant, David Sedaris, Jack Handey, Robert Smigel, and Dick Cavett.
