Cat Blackard

Hi, I'm Cat! I'm a multidisciplinary artist specializing in writing, illustration, and
podcasting. I'm the Mother Brain of <a href="https://patreon.com/omniverse">Omniverse</a>, a storytelling company where I create cinematic audio dramas like <a href="http://cthulhumystery.com/">The Call of Cthulhu Mystery Program</a> and the forthcoming animated series, <a href="http://lightningdogs.com">Lightning Dogs</a>. Through this Patreon, and your generous support, I'm funding the projects most personal to me such as my forthcoming podcast TRANScend, and other wild tales from the places where reality 
thins. <img src="https://nerdyshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/transcend-banner.png"> 

TRANScend is a non-fiction podcast about the uncanny journey of being transgender. 
 It's a genre-bending chronicle of my
trans life; combining intimate interviews,
archival sound, and audio drama. More than a linear autobiography, TRANScend is a
kaleidoscopic tapestry - an interconnected
cascade of sexuality and sentience, prophetic
dreams and cyborg self-augmentation, teen runaways, mind-altering
bacteria, communing with deities, coming out, and the fragile concept
of &quot;reality&quot;. TRANScend is currently in development and with your help I'll be able to pay for necessary transcription services, travel, voice acting, sound design, music licensing, and other elements that'll make this a truly unique show. Patrons are along for the ride with production updates and behind-the-scenes content as it becomes available. <img src="https://nerdyshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/neon-bath-logo-1500.jpg"> NEON BATH is a stream of consciousness cyber/fantasy where YOU choose the path ahead. It's a surreal spa of shifting dreams and strange (yet delightful) sensations - an ever-changing ritual in literature to liberate you from the now. Descend into the Neon Bath, meet the 𝓦н¥Ť乇 Ŵ𝓨т𝔠卄★, and be reborn. Patrons are first to lose themselves in the
labyrinth and vote in weekly polls deciding which twist and turn I write next. Start reading at <a href="http://neonbath.com">NEONBATH.COM</a>. Your patronage enables me to take fewer freelance jobs so I can devote more time to the Omniverse productions you know and love along with supporting new <a href="https://www.patreon.com/capblackard/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=illustration">illustrations</a> and <a href="https://www.patreon.com/capblackard/posts?filters[tag]=writing">writing</a>, strange and exciting <a href="https://www.patreon.com/capblackard/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=etc">explorations of media</a>, and further expansion of TRANScend and NEON BATH.
