David Kevin Montoya is an Writer, director, producer, author, comic book writer, podcaster, artist and, business entrepreneur. Although he started creating his own comics in the 1990s, he did not really make a name for himself until the launch of his online magazine, The World of Myth. It was during that time that he founded Dark Myth Production Studios, and begin to publish work outside of his magazine. But, it was the monthly serial that feature a dystopian apocalyptic age ruled by a great plague and zombie-like creatures, titled, The End that put him on the map. In that time, and not counting his work in comic books or screenwriting, Montoya wrote about fifty short stories from 2004 to 2012-with genres spreading in multiple areas such as Action-Suspense, horror and, even, Comedy. At the end of 2012, he opened a micro-publishing house solely for his work named after his two children (at the time, a third would come in 2015) Jayden and Zoie-JayZoMon Productions was born. It was under that brand, Montoya released his own anthology of short stories (in the same tune of his mentor's Terry D. Scheerer's book Dreams of Darkness, Dreams of Night) called, It's a Dark Ride. Also, in October of that year Montoya formed the JayZoModcast Podcast Network, where he co-hosted several shows on his own Podcast Network, with his most popular, with sister Rebecca C. Lofgren-Ilich and her husband, Eron Ilich formed the podcast called, Seeing R.E.D, which still receives downloads of past episode even to this day. In 2014, Montoya was drawn into film after a podcast turned into a script titled, The Mongers! It was a bumpy ride with deals broken and conflicting schedules, but in the end, He was about to finish the trailer on his own. He has worked as a producer on several Indy flicks and recently Co-Directed and Co-Produced a short documentary about the making of The Monger's trailer. 2015, was a bittersweet year for him, with the birth of his third child, Lily, but only a month later he would lose the love of his life, Lacie Montoya, from complications of her cesarean done thirty days prior. He tried to shake it off and jump back to podcasting that November, but things were not the same and after episode #115, decided to stop recording new podcasts altogether. It was during that time off, that he became a fan of fitness and became involved in working out daily, ultimately losing over 125 lbs and rebuilding not only his body, but his mind with new literature. It would be that following Summer, that Montoya would believe that he was ready to return, on July 4, 2016, JayZoModcast 2.0 went live! Again, it was completely different than the days of the original version, with new shows and new people-Montoya wanted to take what he knew from the world of publishing and build up, new podcasts. But, it only lasted a month, the team wasn't really interested in a return and was doing the shows as a favor (which came through on-air), and Montoya decided to close everything for good, so he thought. Montoya learned at the end of 2016 that the rights for Dark Myth was available for sale, under his JayZoMon banner, he worked out a deal and once again obtained the rights to the company he founded. The transition would take almost an entire year, but on Christmas Eve of 2017, a brand new issue of The World of Myth Magazine came out, with a strong response! Now, Montoya is once again writing on a monthly basis and there are several print, movie and toy projects in the works!- Producer

Though born in Southern California, it was during his high school years in Ellicott City MD, a suburb of Baltimore, that Kevin Klemm developed his love of filmmaking. Using money saved from a series of summer jobs, Kevin bought his first Super Eight sound camera and started making movies. After High School he studied film production at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), where he got the opportunity to work on Don Dohler's Galaxy Invader. This was followed by Blood Massacre, also by Don Dohler, although this version was later shelved and re-made a number of years later.
Kevin Klemm moved out to Los Angeles in 1986 and landed a job at Universal, where he stayed for the next eighteen years.
Always fascinated by Special Make-Up Effects, Kevin taught himself prop fabrication, specifically corpses. He started making corpse props to decorate his yard for Halloween, and got so many requests he started selling them on E-Bay. This led to his forming of The Ed Gein Collection (named after the grave-robber Ed Gein) and he started selling his work to Haunted Attractions such as House of Shock and Netherworld. Robert Rhine, a comic book writer, got in touch with Kevin and asked if he could borrow a corpse prop and use it to decorate his booth at the San Diego Comic Con. The corpse was a big hit, with everyone thinking it was a real cadaver. Everyone wanted to have their picture taken with the corpse, girls especially. This lead Robert Rhine to exclaim- "What's up with the girls and corpses?" The rest is history, as Kevin Klemm and Robert Rhine joined forces and created Girls and Corpses Magazine. Kevin's corpse work has been profiled in such magazines as Maxim, Entertainment Weekly, Bizarre, Penthouse and Total Guitar Magazine.
Kevin was then discovered by the Dark Art / Low Brow art scene and was asked to participate in one of the first ever Hyaena Gallery art shows. He has since had shows in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, and his work can be found in the collections of such celebrities as Musician/Filmmaker Rob Zombie and Writer Neil Gaiman.
Kevin Klemm is now concentrating on writing and producing, but will create a corpse if the right project comes along...- Editor
