About this listen

 A serialized audio companion to a graphic novel over twenty years in the making. Each episode descends into the painted world of The After—built from over two decades of oil and acrylic, brushstroke by brushstroke. Here, apocalypse is not the end but a door: through ruins and rebirth, through hordes and hybrids, through things that watch from deep water. This is not survival horror. This is transformation. Follow survivors navigating a world unmaking and remaking itself. The Earth is healing—into something reimagined, ancient, and new. The podcast delivers the narrative voice behind the images: slow revelation, audio drama, and creator commentary woven into a hybrid medium. One chapter closer to the finished coffee table book. What comes after the end? Art Science Fiction

    Chapter 2: The Eclipse
    Mar 30 2026
    **This is a graphic novel, be sure to check out the linked paintings below. ** The Eclipse As the sky goes dark in the middle of the day, Aden and his mother stand beneath a rare total eclipse—caught between wonder and quiet exhaustion. While she wrestles with the weight of raising him alone, something ancient stirs beneath their feet. Long-buried spores awaken, creeping upward, unseen. This is not just an ending… it’s a beginning. *****Links to each painting***** The Eclipse is part of my Spores series where you can see the painting. I started this series during The Quarantine, but The Eclipse was started the day I got to witness an eclipse in totality. https://rw2gallery.com/spores ⁠Spores
