The Creators
Lynsey G
Writer & co-creator of Tracy Queen, started writing young and never stopped. Her primary focus is in the oddly congruent corners of adult entertainment, gender issues, and feminism. As a DVD reviewer and set copy writer for numerous adult magazines, she got an eyeful of smut and a mind full of questions, which she parlayed into a column at McSweeney’s Internet Tendency. She then spent three years as the editor-in-chief of the online adult industry magazine WHACK! There, under the name Miss Lagsalot, she conducted dozens of interviews with adult stars and wrote her sparkly little heart out. During this time she also curated a video art exhibition at apexart in New York City featuring four short films she directed and produced, won a 2013 Feminist P*rn Award for one of those films, and whored it up with The New York City Poetry Brothel.
She is the author of Watching Porn: And Other Confessions of an Adult Entertainment Journalist. She has published fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry in print and online at outlets like MEL Magazine, Bitch, Refinery29, Bust Magazine, Luna Luna Magazine, xoJane, the Doctor T.J. Eckleburg Review, and others. These days she works as a freelance copyeditor and journalist while also creating Tracy Queen, blogging at her website, and launching Oneshi Press.
Please feel free to contact her by e-mail at misslagsalot@gmail.com, on Facebook at facebook.com/misslagsalot, or on Twitter at @misslagsalot!
Jayel Draco
Illustrator/designer & co-creator of Tracy Queen, is a multi-disciplinary visual artist who graduated from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan in 2003 with a BFA in Illustration, and continued his arts education taking electives at Hofstra University and Pratt. Over the past decade he has done freelance work as an art director, illustrator, animator, graphic designer, VFX technician, and web designer on a variety of multimedia projects.
His animation work for Wagner’s Die Walküre (conducted by James Levine and directed by Robert LePage) was shown at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, and his animation work for Marvel’s Astonishing X-Men (written by Joss Whedon, illustrated by John Cassaday, and directed by Neal Adams) was projected onto the side of a building in Union Square at MarvelFest. He recently left a four-year stint of working at Neal Adams Continuity Studios as a web designer, animator, and VFX technician to focus on developing Oneshi Press. Jayel continues to work with Continuity Studios along with a plethora of other clients on a freelance basis.
Production Team
Chris Covelli
CGI Previs/Reference Modeler for Tracy Queen.
With over a decade of experience in the 3d animation/VFX industry, Chris has provided freelance professional work on advertisements for American Express, Coca Cola, Crayola, Newsday, and many others.

For Tracy Queen, Species co-creator Chris Covelli used his proprietary software “Species” (Species is available exclusively through Exocortex Technologies) to create, alter, and manipulate 3d modeled characters to use as reference for the artwork.
Peter Lampasona
Contributor/co-writer of Children of Gaia and a salesman type, Peter Lampasona also provides fight choreography and consultation for several Oneshi Press projects, including Children of Gaia: The Great Nations of Rendaraia, Tracy Queen, and PACK. Peter is best known for writing about the world of sports, where people harm one another. Peter has contributed to publications such as MMAMania, The Fight Nerd, and US Combat Sports; worked on production for the now defunct Spike TV shows MMA Uncensored Live and the Unrivaled documentary series; appeared in the New York Mixed Martial Arts documentary sporting an, in retrospect, ridiculous haircut; and has a competitive record that really is better than what Google says, due to the officially unofficial nature of amateur sport fighting in New York during his athletic prime.
Cardinal Rae
Cardinal Rae is a letterer and designer with Fenix Works, Inc. who has worked for DC Comics, Papercutz, and other comics publishers. She has Lettered for both Tracy Queen, PACK, and Mr. Guy: Act I – Arc I, as well as provided beta-reads for Children of Gaia.
