Over the summer of 2021 I has the good fortune of working with the extremely talented musician Ezra Gale. He&#8217;s part of delightfully eclectic network of musicians I&#8217;ve lucky enough to crisscross paths with over the years. in fact some are dear old-school friends and I&#8217;ve got some precious memories of of New Years Eve celebrations in the sleepiest of Northern California towns called Casper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well we reunited just this past year to work on this amazing project of his!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/036\/262\/505\/f45fbf1d79641c5d73fa985f010f8b2e_original.JPG?w=1170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Funded on Kickstarter!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That graphic should really read <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">comic anthology<\/span>, as the lyrics to each song in this double album set are adapted into a short comic by an individual indie comic-creator.

I got to work on an edgy Sci-Fi Romance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus I had a fantastic time illustrating that cover. But full-disclosure, that&#8217;s not the finished art. One of the really fun perks in his campaign was to offer backers the chance to title one of the books in the widow, with their name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/036\/262\/547\/d599d8f71ace7b89ddd6dbc90088f3a3_original.jpg?w=1170&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we ended up going one step further.
