THE COMIC

The comic was born from marathon sessions of Rock Band 2 over the course of a year.  My husband and I each made up 2 guys so we could have an entirely original band. Initially it was just an exercise in making up fun back stories for our avatars, but they took over, adding more and more. My 8 year-old art block suddenly shattered, and the band became their own characters. After some writing I found I had an entire story from start to finish, so I started drawing.

The setting is Denver, Colorado sometime in the near future. I haven’t pinned it down yet, but there’s still combustion engine cars, yet there’s also nifty hologram-style communications and fashionable cyberware. Maybe 50 years from now?

THE AUTHOR/ARTIST

I live in Colorado with my husband, 2 cats, a dog, and varying numbers of hamsters/gerbils and a rat. I played piano, drums, and bass growing up and always wanted to be in a band, but the closest I ever got was jam night at a bar in Fort Collins. I have a Bachelor of Art degree in graphic design and have been reading comics for as long as I can remember. I suppose it was inevitable I’d do a band comic at some point. :)
