Jamie is dead. On the plus side, she’s haunting her rock idol Roger Vitt, front man of the short-lived punk-goth band Cut Flowers. He's aging and alcoholic now, but she can possess him and see his memories and dreams. She can fix him – she can *be* him… if his other ghosts don’t get in the way.
Our book got a mention in the Minneapolis Star Tribune ☺️

For this whole dream sequence I did the colors in acrylic paint on transparent Duralar. I wanted imperfection and texture and this method turned out to be a ton of fun!!! 🤘🏼

This is how I do those dream/nightmare borders - graphite power mixed with acrylic matte medium and water, on frosted Duralar over printouts of the pages.
