December 15, 2022 – Dreamcatcher Artists released Tenille Arts’ moving “Motel On The Moon” track two weeks ago and turned to award-winning cartoonist Guy Gilchrist to create a special animated illustration for the alternative cover art this week.

“Guy was the perfect person to illustrate this alternate version of the ‘Motel On The Moon’ artwork,” said Tenille. “But after digging into his career and everything he’s done, I honestly couldn’t believe he agreed to do it!”

Longtime Nashville resident Gilchrist was an integral member of Jim Henson’s creative team working Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies and more. Looney Tunes, Disney, Tiny Toons and others dot his impressive resume. As writer and illustrator for the popular “Nancy” comic strip, he regularly dropped country stars names and images into the weekly story lines.

“I am a huge fan of Tenille and I am very grateful that I was able to be a part of such a wonderful creative collaboration,” said Gilchrist.

Tenille wraps up U.S. touring in Sarasota tonight before heading home to Canada for the holidays and a New Year’s Eve performance in Enoch, Alberta.
