About this project

Viral Linguistics is a collaboration between musician Honeybear and visual artist Heather Kai Smith. Heather makes drawings calling back to the innocent illustrations of the 1950's and 60's while inserting emotion, creating a contemporary context for the familiar style. Honeybear weaves honest and lonesome narratives while keeping sight of the light even when exploring ghostly soundscapes of experimental-folk music.

The fruit of the project will be a 40 page notebook/sketchbook with 10 drawings of Heather's scattered amongst the pages. The cover will be drawn by Heather, then silkscreened and assembled by Honeybear. Included will be two download codes (one for the notebook's owner and one to give to a friend) for a 6-track collection of music by Honeybear.

The funding will be put towards printing, paper, bindery supplies, silk-screening supplies, and mastering for the recorded tracks.
