(AUS), The Little Friends of Printmaking (U.S.), UPSO (U.S.), Steve 'Ribs' Weissmann (U.S.), The Little Friends of Printmaking (U.S.), Huck Gee (U.S.), Pure Evil (U.K.), S. Faustina (U.S.), MCA of Evil Design (U.S), Mr. Pinks (U.K.), What What (U.K.), The Hiberts (U.S.) and Abe Lincoln Jr. (U.S.) just to name a few
