By popular demand, a return home to Minnesota of this fabulous character! Gustafer is a friendly creature who came to Earth from the sun and has an unusual 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 pet dragon named Asparagus who lives in his fireplace and loves corn on the cob. Gustafer's pals, the Mustard Slugs practice their math under the shrubbery.

Gustafer Yellowgold concerts are a unique blend of live music and
moving image. The minimally animated illustrations are accompanied by
illustrator/songwriter Morgan Taylor’s catchy and original story-songs
for a truly different multimedia experience that is entrancing
children, teens and adults alike. Since his creation in 2005, Gustafer Yellowgold has become an international phenomenon, acclaimed by the New York Times, which said, “The show is a cross between ‘Yellow Submarine’ and Dr. Seuss.” Entertainment Weekly praised “...The most infectious original songs.  It’s like tapping into some pleasure center in the brain- both adult and kid ...absurdly appealing. Grade: A.”  New York Magazine named Morgan Taylor “Best Kids’ Performer” in its 2008 “Best of New York” issue. “Mint Green Bee” from Gustafer Yellowgold’s Wide Wild World is the Session I Grand Prize Winner in the Children’s Category of the 2008 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Take a look at Gustafer’s MySpace page to see what his fans think!
