It’s here! The official cover art and poster for Rock & Roar! This was a real labor of love - ask my Patrons who have watched me work on it since last year. 😵 I’m overall really happy with how it turned out and it’s now live on Webtoons, Tapas, the wiki, and Rock & Roar.com!

Rock & Roar is a webcomic you can read today for free online. It’s about an animal rock band in the 80s, and has been my passion project ever since I started developing it all the way back in 2012 when I was in college.

Here comes Laserdream! I wanted to make a pin-up poster of sorts that fans in the book universe would hang on their walls (I'm sure Greg had a lot of those). I made three versions because I always have a hard time choosing, lol

The design on the costume doesn't quite match the description in the book because I didn't like how it looked in practice. "As Laserdream, Crystal wore a white costume with an emblazoned, stylized arrow pointing down and to her right. Several lines trailed behind it over her left shoulder, with a single line zigzagging across the others" - as described in the book…in reality, I just ended up with a mess of lines. So I took some creative liberties. The last screenshot is what I would have done to make the design more "corresponding to the description". Maybe the problem is me and I'm somehow misunderstanding the description, lol

I also looked at this fanart (I really like the idea with the jacket) https://worm.fandom.com/wiki/Laserdream?file=Laserdream.png

It's Novembyrne! This is a community event for David Byrne fans to participate in, sharing creations (fanart, crafts, covers, etc) related to each day's theme throughout November, spanning across David Byrne's career. You can participate as much or as little as you want, and it's okay if you post slightly late (especially today, not much time to prepare because this post was late). You can also post stuff you've made before, and it doesn't need to be anything too special - it's not a competition! Tag your posts with #Novembyrne
