About

For time immemorial, the desire for humans to imagine and create characters, environments, and adventures has been a universal catalyst that binds people, cultures, and entire civilizations, giving us common hope, purpose and direction. It is a venerated tradition that spans time and distance, from the hand drawings in the Caves of Lascaux to the great oral tales of Homer to the vignettes transmitted on the screens of today's cell phones.
