Celestia Ward has been drawing caricatures since childhood and has been getting paid for it since 1992. Upon graduating from the Johns Hopkins University, she won the Lois Sudler Prize in the Arts and later trained with caricature legends Irv "Quickdraw" Finifter, Gary “Toonboy” Smith, and Tom "Chalk" Chalkley. Despite years of hard work, however, she was unable to get a cool nickname. She’s been a member of the National Caricaturist Network since 1996; she served as secretary-treasurer from 2000 to 2002 and has written several articles and tutorials for their trade publication Exaggerated Features. In Maryland, she was part of the renegade band of cartoonists that published Street Runoff: Lighthearted Tales of Horror and Discomfort fresh from the Unven Pavements of Baltimore, Md., still available at some comic store somewhere. Her illustration clients over the years include Penn & Teller, Coca-Cola, Jig Interactive, Mariott Hotels, Viva Magazine , Raymond Geddes, Inc., The Johns Hopkins University Press, and many others. She has always had a strong love for sculpture, which has influenced even her two-dimensional work. After moving back to her native city of Las Vegas, she came under the influence of master airbrush artist Sundini, and the two of them were drawn together. No, I mean it, they were drawn together--check out the "Us Gallery." They teamed up to form Two Heads Studios, and they were married in 2004. At the 2005 NCN convention, Celestia went home with awards including 1st place in outstanding 3-D technique, and she placed among the top 15 caricature artists (a high honor, as there are competing artists from all over the world.)

Las Vegas native Robert Sundin III (a.k.a. Sundini), born in the summer of '71, is proof positive that there's something horribly wrong with the tapwater in Southern Nevada. As a child he was separated from his family while camping outside of Area 51. Raised by aliens and surviving on radiated cactus and beef, his appetite was the reason cattle mutilations were up 875% from '73 to '92. That's not important. What is important is that he started doing caricatures at the Excalibur Hotel & Casino on April 1st, 1992, and has been doing so ever since. His art style is a crowd favorite, and his behavior has been both professional and well mannered since Celestia started using the cattle prod. He has performed as a live caricature artist at some of the most exclusive parties and largest trade shows in the world--from drawing people into Microsoft's booth at the famous Consumer Electronics Show to entertaining guests at parties in major resorts along the Las Vegas Strip. Robert also manages to do plenty of airbrush studio work and teach the occasional caricature workshop. He is the creator of the web comic Obscure Imagery, and his illustration clients include the Dayton Voice, Jig Interactive, the Las Vegas New Times, Prime, Las Vegas City Life, and Viva Magazine.

Celestia’s strengths lie in composition, form, and her ability to capture a whimsical likeness even in three dimensions; Sundini is a master of light and color, a visual mathematician who has an amazing control over anatomical stretch. Together they offer a combined 28 years of experience and a unique perspective that is greater than the sum of its parts.
