The story, which sounds and looks better than Princess Kaguya is about a girl whose been living underground, when she pops out and meets a boy they both find out she has her gravity reversed, don't let her go!

“My art is about good times and the people, places and experiences I’ve encountered growing up in California. I feel a special connection to the esthetic and freedom of the 60’s and 70’s, which has led my art to pass through a psychedelic filter. When I’m not drawing on paper, I’m drawing inspiration and endless ideas from surfing, skating, camping and exploring rivers and beaches. I want the viewer to feel the sun, feel the water, stick out their tongue and rip off their clothes. Get free. Get weird. Get happy. Get on the bus.” – Jesse California
