Lance Ikegawa is a costume designer, currently living in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California. Growing up, Lance loved dinosaurs and mythical creatures. He spent many Saturday afternoons watching giant rubber monsters stomp Tokyo (and rooting for the monsters). He blames these influences for planting the costuming seed in his life.

Much later, Lance became friends with some professional costumers, from whom he learned the basics of costume design and fabrication. His skills took a big leap when he met Lynette Eklund, a Hollywood special effects costumer who shared his passion for finding ways to hide the human form within creature costumes. Their experiments with new techniques, new materials and new designs have found their way into many costumes.

Steve Gallacci is best known for creating and publishing Albedo Anthropomorphics, the independent comic series which has been considered a major factor in the origins of furry fandom.

Gallacci spent 6 years in the US Air Force as a graphics specialist, including a tour of duty in Germany. After leaving the military, Gallacci started Albedo under his own Thoughts & Images imprint. Among some of the story lines that have appeared in Albedo is Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo, which first appeared in the infamously rare Albedo #2.

Today, Steve lives in Seattle with his wife of many years, the long time SF and Media fan Beverley Clark, and two dogs.
