The music I created for Veil of the Gods has been a wonderful journey in itself. You know, the long term plan is to transform the graphic novel into an interactive experience and an online game. So the music is very important. The track we used on the first two promo videos wasn’t the one I’d originally planned to include. This melody came to me in a daydream while I was trying to figure out a problem with a font. I picked up the low D whistle and the melody just burst out. I hadn’t actually played that instrument for about a year so I was really surprised. It was like the flute was just aching to be played again. The whole track took only a few hours to orchestrate, record and mix. And I’m pretty happy with the result. Here’s the short version without the flute.

The Bodhisattva Maitreya, the Buddha of the future. Maitreya is believed to currently reside in Tushita Heaven and is typically depicted as having either a peaceful appearance (Bodhisattva) or Buddha appearance. Maitreya Budhha is depicted sitting on the throne in meditative posture, waiting for his time. He will reintroduce the True Dharma to the world. Maitreya is depicted in a posture symbolizing that he is ready to arise in response to the need of the world and descend to turn the wheel of Dharma, as Shakyamuni did before him. His hands are in teaching mudra at his heart.

So, here's the first card of the Ziggetai Oracle deck. This is Mahjeena Jahrool. Still lots of digital touch ups to do and the insert of titles, but I think she's looking good. This is just a teaser. I hope you consider yourself teased.

The Oracle Deck will take the form of an app that draws a card and reveals it's meaning for the reader. Each card is a character or location from my upcoming graphic novel, "Veil of the Gods".

The deck will only be available as an NFT and the number of NFTs will be limited.

There will be three tiers of ownership, bronze, silver and gold, each with their own specific utilities attached. And there'll be music in the background.

We're so fortunate to have such a dedicated Dev team creating the app and our minting Dapp. Much gratitude...

The countdown to mint has begun.

Before this year is out we'll be minting two graphic novels; the first chapter of Veil of the Gods and, before that, The Book of Mahjuti.

What I’m loving most about writing and illustrating Veil of the Gods is that so many of the characters have quite deep backstories that overlap with the main narrative in interesting ways. Every piece of information is vital to the central story...
