Kaja Foglio
Phil Foglio
Kaja Foglio is a Seattle-based writer, artist and publisher.  She founded Studio Foglio, LLC in 2003 as a venue for her Magic the Gathering art prints, but quickly expanded into publishing.  She co-writes the comic book Girl Genius with her husband Phil, and is the chief graphic designer and Web mistress for Studio Foglio and Airship Entertainment.

Phil Foglio has been drifting through existence these last two decades, pretty much doing what ever he felt like, as long as he could make money at it.  That would include Girl Genius, the comic to which he currently devotes his pencilling and co-writing skills.

He has done comics for DC, Marvel, Comico, First Comics, Dark Horse and WARP.  He was a member of three improvisational comedy groups and was the youngest person to ever receive a Hugo Award.  When Phil was an assistant manager at a pet shop, he redesigned the layout so that all of the animals were displayed by color.  He is interested in gardening, old books, fine dining, travel and fun things you can do while wearing a Godzilla costume.  As a result, he is now married to the lovely Kaja Foglio, who shares many of these interests, and puts up with the Godzilla costumes.
