In the third grade, Ryan Everett Felton was honored with an inkjet-printer certificate from NASA for writing an outstanding mnemonic device intended to help students memorize the moons of Jupiter. To this day he remembers that “my ape at ten icky ewwie gooey corn cobs,” but can’t for the life of him remember a single Jupiterian moon.

Between the summers of 2001 and 2006 he wrote and drew the weekly comic strip 9-Banded, focusing on the travails and trials of an armadillo and his human companion. During this time he co-created the unintentionally avant-garde comic book series The Lumpish One and founded Poorly Made Films, an Indianapolis-based amateur film production team. Felton has since written and directed five feature-length films, a bevy of bizarre short films, and written his first and only novel Pile On Kyle.

In addition to writing OURS! he continues to focus on film, with an animated feature version of The Lumpish One next on his slate. Felton lives in the Indianapolis area and has no pets until he can find a way to have an armadillo shipped to the state without raising any eyebrows.
