A Narrative Art Experience
Doc Galahan’s Queensgate is a narrative art exploration in three parts. The story manifests itself through a 19th century illustrated newspaper, an audio/video podcast, and a street art series that will appear at various locations in Cincinnati.
The Queensgate Observer
Inspired by 19th century serialized stories, illustrated newspapers, and epistolary storytelling the entire first season will be told via an illustrated newspaper. Every article, advertisement, and piece of art is created as if the reader picked up the Observer from a Queensgate newsstand in 1853. Every aspect of the paper is written, designed and illustrated by the artist behind Doc Galahan. The first season will be released in 12 issues over the course of six months. The first issue will release on April 16, 2024. However, a special edition will be released on February 10th at the Scarlet Veil Release Party. Copies will be available for sale after the event. The Special Edition takes place two years before the origin event in 1851.
Spectragraph Machines (Audio/Video Releases)
We know of Queensgate and Doc Galahan through a device known as a Spectragraph. It is a device which projects imagery and sound. Presumably, these Spectragraphs and the transmissions they project (aka spectragrams) began to appear in Cincinnati, Ohio between the late 1960’s and the mid-1980’s. Every few years, the Spectragraphs begin to transmit a sequence of transmissions. Should you find them, you will be able to experience the transmissions. With that said, should you not have the opportunity to find them or visit Cincinnati, each transmission will be documented and posted on YouTube on the Doc Galahan channel. Additionally the audio will be released across a wide variety of podcast platforms (Apple, Spotify, Amazon, etc).
The Anomalies (Street Art Installations)
Another aspect of Doc Galahan’s unusual world is that it often bleeds into ours, sometimes leaving behind remnants of its past, present or future. This occurs only in the Queen City. As the Observer and the Spectragraphs begin to find their way into our world the veil between our worlds is growing thinner and objects from Doc Galahan’s Queensgate will begin to find their way into our world. While we cannot predict what anomalies will occur. You can be certain that such strange occurrences will be properly documented.
