Gala Bent is a frequent contributor to Asthmatic Kitty in several ways. In addition to frequently reviewing for the Sidebar (see her posts here), Gala has also illustrated several of our artists’ covers (here and here). She is a dear friend to the label.

Her art is distinctive, kind, and penetrating. And if you live in Seattle, you can see it on paper. Gallery4culture in Seattle is currently showing Overgrown, a dozen or so of her drawings until May 1st. Details are here. You can also read an interview with Gala here, where she talks a bit about her art and its inspirations. If you live in the area, we recommend you make a visit.
