ABOUT MACK MOON AND THE P.E.T.S.
Mack Moon has always loved space, so it’s EPIC when he discovers that his three pets are actually secret agents from P.E.T.S. But it's NOT-so-epic when Mack finds out they're here because an evil space ferret, Barbara has arrived on planet Earth.
ABOUT RUSS COX
Russ Cox was raised by a pack of crazed hillbillies in the backwoods of Tennessee. Without much in the way of modern conveniences, like television or running water, he spent his time drawing, whittling, and throwing dirt clods at his cousins. With the bulk of his life spent in Pennsylvania, he met his wife; became a graphic designer; played in punk, alternative, and surf bands; had two kids; and started his own illustration studio, Smiling Otis Studio (named after one of their enormous cats). Russ creates his art using digital software, primarily Clip Studio and other digital tools. He works in traditional mediums, often with a mixture of paper, pencil, pen & ink, gouache, and watercolor. Russ lives in Maine with his wife and three cats.
