Bio: CommonWealth Press's art department is Dan Rugh and Mark Bogacki.

They have been creating art together for around 15 years to build one of the most recognizable local brands in Pittsburgh.

As a team, they have shaped an entire line of CommonWealth Press merchandise sold in retail stores across the city alongside CWPs own brick-and-mortar stores in the South Side, Bloomfield, Mt Lebanon, and the Airport...plus various pop-ups and craft fairs all over the place.

They have created art and worked with the Andy Warhol Museum, The City of Pittsburgh, Rick Seback, WCRT, Leonas Ice Cream, the Blue Devil Rugby Club, WQED, Handmade Arcade, Matt Dayak, Bottlerocket Social Hall, WESA, the Pittsburgh Children's Museum, Night in the Woods, 3 Rivers Outdoor Co, 96.1 KISS, Sapling Press, The Pittsburgh Pirates, Workerbird, WYEP, Edgar Snyder, Bootstrap Design Co, WPTS, Turner's Tea, WDVE, Augst Wilson House, John Fetterman, East End Brewing Company, Yellow Couch Studio, plus so much more ... and now the Pittsburgh Steelers! 

When not drawing or designing, Mark and Dan enjoy riding bikes, camping, and listening to Hall and Oates.

Bio: This is Mark Benders third year collaborating with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Commonwealth Press on the Game Day poster project. His meticulously crafted images have been incorporated into advertising, editorial and institutional clients including MLB, NHL, NFL, Simon & Shuster, Sony Music, NPR, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Heinz USA, Carnegie Mellon University, PITT University, East End Brewing, Pittsburgh Regional Transit, The Heinz History Center, Federated Investors and Commonwealth Press. Mark's illustration is classically inspired and combines traditional media with contemporary technology to create compelling imagery that connects with the audience. His visual vocabulary pulls from vintage advertising of the 20's and 30's, WPA and propaganda posters, giving contemporary concepts a timeless motif.

A college educator in Pittsburgh for over 20 years, Mark is an Associate Professor in Graphic Design at Chatham University, Shadyside.

Bio: Hi, my name is Shawn Atkins and I'm a cartoonist of webcomics, a lover of oatmeal raisin cookies, and a dad. Comics have been a lifelong passion of mine. From exploring the depths of the ocean to the outer reaches of time and space, comics fuel my curiosity about what's out there in the world. Recently re-found my love of Photography and the Darkroom at Pittsburgh Center of the Arts where I offer comic-making classes. When I'm not making comics I'm hanging with my family, watching movies, cooking, or opening a portal to the dark dimension like one does on a Tuesday morning. Currently, I'm going back to school to become an art teacher.
