Cover of "The Machine Whisperer", a personalized comic starring Maya of Austin: Maya kneels on the floor of her garage workshop in Austin at sunset, headphones over her curly hair and a screwdriver in one hand, listening to an old golden radio whose glowing ribbon of sound curls up into the title, the city skyline through the open door and a pegboard of tools behind her. Drawn in 3D animated style, made as a tenth-birthday gift for a kid who builds rockets in the garage.
