"Beyond the Singularity" tells the final story of the fabled Gastonian
civilization. Millenia ago a great race of technologically advanced beings
visited an infant planet. They chose this planet as the site for the greatest
genetic experiment ever conducted in the history of the multiverse. Experiment
#57. Out of their experiment rose many forms of unique and wonderous sentient
life. The existence of these "old gods" was only known through the myths and
legends that arose from the collective consciousness of the sentient lifeforms
they created, and eventually passed into obscurity. Then a genetic anomaly arose
from the experiment. This anomaly would be known as Dingle Doppleganger and
would threaten the very fabric of reality on Gastonia. Dingle threw the
multiverse into a dark and terrible age. He destroyed everything, tore reality
asunder and recreated Gastonia in his own image. This image included the spread
of his reality to the rest of the multiverse and Dingle worked toward molding
the few Gastonians left into a space faring race. Now the "old gods" have
returned to their grand experiment to find something
terrible... Saturday, November 13th, from 6pm – Midnight JOSHUA TAYLOR was born in New Jersey and continued his downward trajectory in
hellish locales in up-state New York and North Carolina before honing his art
skills at Pratt Institute. Upon earning his degree, he traversed the country,
from California to Vermont, pursuing his art career. His fine art has appeared
in galleries in LA, NY, Europe, and the Philippines, and has also been featured
in various publications worldwide. Taylor's current body of work focuses on the
history, myths and legends of his "Gastonian Multiverse", an odd ancient
doppleganger reality where the laws of physics and the very fabric of time and
space are falling apart at the seams. He currently resides in Baltimore where he
paints, pays for parking, and works on a series of graphic novels and web comics
entitled Bird & Girl.
