Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.Honestly, this is even better than you think it will be.

what a crazy book…loving the illustrations.
Codex Seraphinianus, 1976-1978
‘The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini, from 1976 to 1978. The book appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an alphabetic writing intended to be meaningless.’

Here’s another one of my lesser-liked (understandable…I mean, it’s about me) autobiographical comics. I grew up religious and still have a great deal of resentment towards not only Mormonism, but religion in general. When I was 19, preparing to go on a mission, I realized how nonsensical it all was, that how I felt actually mattered, that the whole time I didn’t feel anything and thought I was doing something wrong was not my fault, there just was nothing to feel. Once I became an atheist I felt so much more free, though there was a time of frightening adjustment as I had to create a new system—based on reason, which requires a constantly changing and refining of ideas—upon which I could evaluate life. Anyway…as F. Scott Fitgerald said, “I don’t want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again.”
PS - Fuck Baz Luhrman’s (and Jack Clayton’s while we’re at it) The Great Gatsby.
