About the speaker
Tim Seeley is one of those “slash” people…a writer-slash-artist. He has drawn a number of different comic book series including G.I Joe, Halloween, Wildcats and Ex Sanguine. His writing work includes NY Times bestselling Hack/Slash, Grayson, Batman Eternal and the critically acclaimed Revival. You can also find his work on the bottles of Zombie Dust from 3 Floyds Brewing Co.
He and 4 others founded Four Star Studios when they decided they were tired of working from home and rented an office together just to get out of the house. It didn't take long for them to realize they had significant art, writing, design and programming talent gathered under one roof, giving them the chops to pay more than lip service to their creedo of "Deeds, not words." You can find Tim in Chicago, where he is never far from his 80s action figure collection.
Tim will be speaking on the theme "Ethics", and has an incredible story to share regarding just that!

Open Water is bottled water with a green conscience. That’s right: 16 ounces of purified water in 100% recyclable aluminum bottles. Aluminum is recycled more than twice as often as plastic and is also infinitely recyclable. Reusable bottles are always the best, but when you’re away from the tap, think beyond plastic.
