Ryan Morrow
Content Director
/Co-Publisher
In 1982, on a scorching summer afternoon, a 5 year old Ryan Morrow parted ways with the astronomical sum of $1.75 in exchange for a Marvel Illustrated Books edition of the “Origin of the Vision”---and his life was changed.
As the Content Director and Writer here at OneSquaredStudios.com Ryan has been a driving force in the website’s unique use of digital story telling. Although Ryan’s work is primarily with the OSS’ Artistic Director Dave Davies (Cajun Banzai & Serial Saint) and Senior Contributing Artist Aaron Allen (Dirk Spear’s Adventure Squad & The Cradle) the second season is expanding to include the likes of John Bivens and Ryan Cody just to name a few of the talented folks listed below.
Ryan also moonlights writing a column reviewing digital comics called "The Wide World of Webcomics" at IMJ.com
Ryan lives in Iowa City IA with his lovely wife Lauren and their trusty sidekicks Jimmy and Aurora.

In the year 2000 I graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Hunter College. Aspiring to be a famous painter, I found inspiration in comics instead. Inspired by the great Dave McKean, it was Arkham Asylum that changed my life, showing me that fine art and comics mix, and do so well.
Dave is co-creator of Demon Call and Cajun Banzai---2 of our "core" titles as well as being the guiding hand of our overall visual flavor.
In addition to being the artistic voice of One Squared studios Dave resides in Connecticut where he teaches art.

Brian Tanner - Associate Editor/Writer
Genevieve Heinrich
- Associate Editor
Genevieve is the captain of the good ship "Well, actually..." She thinks editing is a fever dream of awesomeness, because it's lovely to have a use for her skills that will cause people to thank (instead of loathe) her. She also edits & (occasionally writes content) at the Iowa Theatre Blog and VoiceBox Poetry and she is a founding editor of the local poetry magazine Weird Cookies
She has a B.A. in English from the University of Iowa, and earns the money that she spends on comics as a Title Abstractor. Ever since she learned that it was out of need for money when she was born that her mother sold her own comic book collection, she has been trying to atone for that travesty. The first time she remembers feeling the rush of collecting was with the Gehenna Stone Affair arc of Wolverine. Her fondest memories of her early 20s involve working at comic book shops in her home state of New Jersey (apologies to her boyfriend at the time, but it's true).
Genevieve enjoys writing about herself, and will no doubt have a text block that utterly overshadows whatever picture she chooses to submit. She's pretty sure this isn't on purpose. She lives in Iowa City. She gives poorly edited publications fewer stars on Goodreads

Ron Brennan has read more comics than everyone on this list of contributors combined, he also has the insane ability to have watched every TV program (currently airing or not) twice, attend opening night of literally 85% of all feature films, and read actual "Books" at a clip of easily 1 a week annually, and still finds time to go to the gym 4-5 times a week.
He manages to do all of this AND still be the Public Relations Liaison/and Management Consultant for OneSquaredStudios.com.
So...what's your excuse for being "behind schedule"?
