Hi there!
This is a complete shot in the dark, but my name is Ethan Willard, I was in Marietta (co-singer guy). I have a podcast called Commando Prompt, which is a show where we watch and review action movies. We are currently looking for new cover art for the podcast, and Evan (other co-singer guy from Marietta) told me about some of the art you made for Marietta lyrics, so here I am! Your art is so good, holy crap!
Would you be interested in coming up with cover art for Commando Prompt? The direction my co-host and I are thinking is emblematic of older Godzilla movie covers, mixed with the sort of retro-futuristic vibes from the Fallout series.
If interested, let me know and we can talk more!
Our email address is [email protected] or we can talk on Twitter/Instagram.
oh dude i would definitely be down to make some art for the podcast! i'll send you a message on instagram so you can give me more details + visual pegs/references re: how you want the art to look like :D (my ig username is: pietiau)
also uh i just want to say: listening to marietta got me through a lot. there's some kind of reassurance you get from realizing someone else has felt the way you do— especially when they put it in a way so painstakingly accurate to /how exactly/ you feel it. listening to marietta feels a lot like listening to what i used to never allow myself to say or feel and it made me feel less alone than i'd convinced myself i was.
anyway,,, i'd be yapping if i go on any longer lol basically i'm just really glad i found marietta!
thank you for reaching out and i'm really really glad you guys dig my art :D
you were in my daydream based on a fic i wrote: The Undertow
We named you after that which is best and brightest within us, that turns stars to constellations, planets into neighbors, and noise into song, but they tell me you can't sing this year. Creating vibrations using your sample-analysis unit costs power, and your nuclear battery can't run forever. For entropy, for the finitude of the universe, and the death of all things, I am sorry. But I wanted to tell you the party's still on, the next planet over, and for making that distance seem just a little shorter, we have you to thank. We haven't forgotten you. We still write poems and make memes in your name. If the aliens find you, and they wonder how or why we sent you on this journey, they need only read your name.

I wrote this four years ago, after reading somewhere that the Curiosity Rover once sang Happy Birthday to itself to celebrate the anniversary of its Mars landing, but to conserve battery, it never did it again.
I felt such immense grief for a robot I've never met and for once my tears transmuted perfectly into nice words. I'm still happy with this, even if I'm not really a poet.
Happy Birthday, Curiosity.
