James Ernest is the prolific game designer behind Cheapass Games, and he can now be found creating games, videos and more at Crab Fragment Labs. Before he became a game designer, though, he was a professional juggler and the author of "Contact Juggling" - the first definitive work on this fascinating technique. While working in the video-game field, he met Brian Murphy, and the two began their collaboration on the "Brian and John" webcomic in 2008.
