Gustafer Yellowgold's unique blend of music and moving image
exists in two ways: The LIVE concerts, where the projected,
animated illustrations are accompanied by illustrator/songwriter
Morgan Taylor’s catchy and original story-songs, or the DVD/CD
sets. Gustafer Yellowgold's ‘Wide Wild World’ was released in a
DVD/CD set by Apple-Eye Productions in March 2007. The
second, nine-song DVD/CD set, Gustafer Yellowgold’s ‘Have You
Never Been Yellow?’ came out on OCT 16th 2007.

Gustafer is a friendly creature who came to Earth from the Sun
and has an interesting magnetism for making friends with some
of Earth's odder creatures. His best friend is Forrest Applecrumbie
the flightless Pterodactyl. Gustafer and Forrest built a small
cottage-style home on the edge of an uncharted wooded area in
Minnesota. He has a pet Eel named Slim (short for Slimothy)
and a Dragon named Asparagus who lives in his fireplace.
Gustafer's older brother Ben, an inventor, communicates with Gus
from back home on Nugget Island._____________________________________________________
