Chris on Synesthesia.

Here's a post about my freind Chris in the Wisconsin State Journal about Synesthesia. I'd never heard of it either :)
Christian Boeger, a professional Madison musician, plays bass in several bands and does studio work. He never thought his internal world was any different than anyone else's until he heard a program on National Public Radio a few years ago."They were talking about the book 'The Man Who Tasted Shapes,' and I thought oh my gosh, that's the way I see music, shapes and sounds."Boeger has a unique crossing of the senses. Unlike most synesthetes who see colored letters and numbers, his senses cross over most often when he hears sounds.

Here are just some doodles testing it out that I think added some character to what I was sketching. Sketch 1 Sketch 2
