Joyous Invasion has ventured from the heart of the southwest desert, to Ireland. Burrowing transcripts of the soul from a time beyond in the hopes of corrupting the strait laced hive minds with slicked factory gel heads from the inside out. Dancing past their head chunks that fly in every which way. From the obsessive passions of a Burqueña, cartoonist, and filmmaker who hopes to build a community of inclusivity and shared knowledge. Indoctrinating you the first Thursday of every month.
