ART CONTEST

Ladies & gents, the JETTA/SHI ART CONTEST is officially closed. For those of you who participated, you're awesome. For those who didn't get to/were too shy, there's always next time, eh?

Now as you all know, we reached out to the Comic Geek Speak Crew in order to judge this one. Let me introduce you to your judges.

Bryan Deemer
Bryan provides the technical know-how that drives the show on. Thanks to the indulgence and support of his wife Tasha, the podcasts are recorded at his house. Tasha often appears on the show as well as the newest addition to the family, Clara, who can be heard expressing her views in Episode 303!
Bryan is also an ardent supporter of DCBS, Instock Trades and eGerber, he gives constant curb jobs to those who don't agree.

Brian Christman
Brian is the most recent addition to the Geeks' roster. Given the nickname 'ants' by Matt after his fondness for wearing shirts with Letterman's company logo on them. Pants has an extensive collection of convention sketches and original art. He shares toy review duties with Shane and is frequently tested on his TV trivia knowledge in the Iron the Pants segment.

Peter Rios
Peter does much of the production for the show: planning episodes and arranging interviews and segments. His show business skills make him a natural presenter and he is, literally, the man to beat when it comes to comics trivia.

Jamie D
The oldest and wisest of the Geeks. Jamie has read just about all types of comics from all genres and is respected for his opinions. If he says something is good then trust him, it's good. His long association with Golden Eagle comics gives him an insight into the comic retail business. Jamie's knowledge means he is the back up for both Peter in Stump the Rios and Brian in Iron the Pants.
