Lucy is editor of this site and a manager and co-ordinator of Tom Phillips's practice. She began working for him in 1989 and has helped him over the past 26 years to bring many of his projects to fruition. She has an in-depth knowledge of Tom's work and has curated and hung a number of his exhibitions. She worked closely with Martin McClellan and John Pull on the development of the previous Tom Phillips websites and since 2010 with Steve Xerri on this current version. 'Compiling and editing all the materials for this site,' says Lucy, ' as well as maintaining its content on a day-by-day basis, has made me realise that there's nothing I enjoy more than the challenge of a large unwieldy project.'

Steve first met Tom in 1988 when, having recently fallen under the spell of A Humument, he interviewed him for Fiction Magazine. Subsequently they kept in touch and Steve reviewed Tom's cluster of London exhibitions in 1992 for the TLS.

In 2010 Steve was approached about a redesign of the Tom Phillips website. His background in writing and in the visual (having previously worked as a photographic retoucher and as an illustrator for such clients as The Guardian and RSC, and currently as a consultant in web publishing) provides him with a good fit for the wide-ranging demands of materials as richly various as Tom's work.

Jez is a web developer and designer. Since gaining a degree in Internet Technology from Anglia Polytechnic University, Jez Cutter has worked as a front-end developer of interfaces for a global online academic publisher, as well as creating a range of freelance projects. He has worked closely with Steve Xerri on implementing the design of this site, where his broad knowledge of web technologies and sensitivity to the needs of site visitors have been vitally useful.

Frances Gizauskas, a current student of English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds, worked as a studio intern for Tom Phillips during the summer of 2011. Her help in assembling and uploading materials to the site was invaluable.

John Nick Pull envisioned and implemented the first fully comprehensive website of Tom Phillips's works and texts. He met Tom Phillips in 1993 when John curated the Harvard exhibition accompanying Tom's visiting professorship at the University's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts. At Tom's invitation he worked first as a page editor and designer during the residency, then as a visiting archivist at the London studio, and in 1997 John launched tomphillips.co.uk.  Initially in a magazine format, the site soon expanded into a richly detailed online resource comprising images, interviews, multimedia, and interactive presentations. John also took over the original Humument site adding all the Tetrad Press pages, and created 57talfourd.com the first version of the Tom Phillips shop. 

Martin works as a web designer and writer. After discovering Tom Phillips's work following his exhibit at the Yale Center for British Art in 1993, Martin McClellan wrote a letter to Phillips asking after the availability of Humument and Dante's Inferno prints. A purchase or two, and many correspondences with Phillips's studio later, McClellan proposed creating a website to showcase Phillips's work. That proposal, refined and given shape by Phillips and Lucy Shortis, became A Humument Homepage, launched in 1995, one of the first artist websites on the internet.

McClellan is a senior UX designer for BreakingNews.com, and a novelist. His first, California Four O'Clock, was successfully funded by Kickstarter in March of 2015. He lives in Seattle with his wife Christine Larsen, an illustrator, and son Lionel. He can be found at martinmcclellan.com.
