 Hi, I’m Ty Lane — a singer-songwriter, husband, dad, and working guy who’s been writing songs for most of my life. Music has always been the way I process the world, and this project marks my first step into releasing my work professionally. I’m recording my debut EP at Cosmic Momma Studios, creating a foundation to grow, tour, and share music with people who connect to honest songwriting. Thanks for being here at the very beginning of this journey. 

Just a gal trying to make her art dreams come true :)

Vito and Andrew met while attending science and engineering high schools in NYC. Let's hear it for our fellow Stuyvesant and Brooklyn Tech Alumni out there!  Vito's foray into entrepreneurship and artistry dovetailed with Andrew's passion and cutting-edge pursuit of engineering, forming the basis for the skill sets which led to a mutual interest hobby turned business. 5th Epoch (which was often called "5E" before that term was otherwise coined in the industry) released its debut publication in 2007 at the Origins Game Fair, where it burst into the role-playing game scene. The pursuit was based on a thirst for adventure, a passion for gaming and an undeniable entrepreneurial sprit. The company has published over 1300 pages of gaming materials and supplements since, the latest of which was Battle Field Ops - leading them to the current moment in history. After proving the game is a success, it was determined it was time to take it to the next level!!

✦Hiho^^! I'm Bunny, an smol artist based in Cologne, Germany! I founded bunny&tea last year in april and started my adventure into creating merch and attending conventions at that time as well~✦ ✦By day I'm an business law student, by night just a cozy gamer trying to make cute art for the games I love!! My love for creating cute merch stems from a passion I had when I was little, collecting cute stickers, scented papers and notebooks!! With getting older, I started to collect other smol items such as enamel pins and tried my hand at creating such goodies as well~✦ ✦Since starting this journey I already hosted four successful kickstarter campaigns with fandom inspired enamel pins ♥ During my last crowdfunding campaign I was so overwhelmed by all the support and love I recieved! My main focus with these campaigns lied on doing cute kawaii illustrations with motives mostly centered around fandoms, but with my transition to Backerkit I try to do something a little different from my normal fandom inspired pins~!✦

 Zeb Walker is a creative problem-solver who splits his time between building imaginary worlds and marketing real ones. He designs tabletop RPGs, spins stories, and crafts campaigns with equal enthusiasm, usually fueled by big ideas and some Pepsi. If there’s a way to turn dragons, dice, or data into something compelling, he’s probably already sketching it out.

Here on planet Earth, we live in an age when "creativity" is sold over the counter. The creative process can be reduced to automatized prompts, the imagination put away like pool toys in winter. With a few clicks, people claim to be artists - and yet, the "art" hoisted by unblemished hands looks vaguely familiar. It's nothing new. Even the "artist" is the same as before... At Unfound Adventures, we believe that imagination & creativity are two of life's treasures. They are acts to be engaged in, much like dancing, swimming, flying, healing, or...levitation. They are playful, yes, but they are also testing. They teach you about yourself, about your values, about your mettle, and you come away as a deeper version of yourself. Art, therefore, is not the purpose of creative engagement but a colorful bi-product. The real gift of imagination & creativity is the knowledge of one's self, a chance to look squarely at the shape of one's vibrant spirit.  What began as a comic book project for ourselves has grown into a mission for the next generation. In everything we do, we intend to involve kids. We wish to stoke their imaginations, nurture their creativity, and provide them with tools & frameworks to go deep in their exploration of self. 

Hi! I’m Madshy, ShyShy, Mads, Maddy or just Shy. I am currently a full time Freelance Artist based out of Florida. My mascot, Madshy, is a saber-toothed tiger bird hybrid kid who keeps my imagination alive! I’ve been doodling since childhood and have been a Fandom artist for a while now. My passion is designing hybrid characters, however there’s something so very special in bringing life to cute, furry related art. I'm known best in the Fandom for cute and colorful drawings featuring animals adorned with nerd glasses and bowties. I am eternally grateful for any opportunity to use my gifts for this purpose!

Co-authors, Janet Snyder and Kathleen Canova, “SILVER SISTERS” who’ve been friends for 50+ years, are self-proclaimed “Subject Matter Experts” (SMEs). Many of the themes and topics addressed in their Silver Series of Grown-Up Wisdom are inspired and based on a 30-Day Personal Development Program created by Janet entitled, "OOOH Crap! We Become What We Think About." Janet resides in Louisville, Kentucky where she is the mother of three and the "Nan" of two grands (with another on the way this Fall). After many years of personal struggle from the aftereffects endured from her own mental and emotional childhood/young adult trauma, Janet turned her focused attention to personal healing through self-study while aspiring to improve her own life. Also, combining her decades of work in the interior design industry with her love of the earth, she founded StoryBook Cottages for children. Intrinsic in her unique designs are the use of recycled materials and sustainable living green rooftops.  Kathleen resides in Westminster, Colorado where she thrives in her role as mom, and is fondly called "Yaya" by her four grandchildren. A successful entrepreneur in the promotional merchandise and natural supplement industries, she has also facilitated domestic crisis intervention, deep emotional and spiritual healing programs. Based on her own lived experiences with domestic abuse and after pursuing her emotional healing, she underwent extensive training and certifications. When she's not working and creating, Kathleen enjoys the beauty of the great outdoors, traveling, reading and spending quality time with friends and family!
