Hand holding an art print titled Fishounds by Jimmo. The artwork features a large silver-grey circular figure with antler-like branches, simple cross-shaped eyes, and geometric yellow accents. The background is a starry black sky with tridents, lightning bolts, and small abstract creatures. At the bottom, angular structures lead up toward the central figure. In the corner, the artist’s mark “NO” and the website “IONO.CA” appear.

Extra material from a story I’m working on about a band of motley fishounds #islandsofno #fishounds #illustration #writing #poetry #surrealist #blackandwhite
A grid of nine abstract, monochromatic, hand-drawn figures, each with a unique and surreal appearance. The characters feature exaggerated or distorted facial features, like multiple eyes, jagged lines, or unusual shapes, giving the artwork an eerie and imaginative feel.

Congrats and thx for hosting 🖤

Process is a topic I’m passionate about 🥸 The last few months I’ve been working on a little art book for a poem I wrote called 𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴. Started with some artwork and then created a blueprint for the book.

Excited to start sharing more images of my latest print project, 𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴, about a crew of nefarious submariners. I worked with a local printer to push the limits of their machines.

Been deep in Fishounds—illustrated poem, accordion folds, white + metallic ink on black paper (aka chaos). Reworking every panel but it’s nearly there. Hoping to print in the next couple weeks! #IslandsofNo #DarkArt #ArtShare #ArtBooks #BookSky #IllustratedPoem #Schematics
Design layout for an illustrated accordion-style art book titled Fishounds by Jimmo. The diagram shows both front and back views of the 15-panel foldout (3.25” square panels) laid out on a 12” x 18” workspace. The front side contains dark, surreal illustrations and cryptic poetry, while the back forms a single large image of a sea snake. Inks used are labeled as super black, silver, white, yellow, and red. Additional diagrams show scoring lines, folding joins, and how the booklet is packaged in clear envelopes with distinctive cover and back art. An artist’s mark “NO” and the website “IONO.CA” are included in the top-right corner.

Spent the afternoon building a paper prototype for a little Fishounds art book. It’s wild how symmetry messes with your eyes when you’re holding it in your hands—things that looked perfect on screen suddenly feel off.

#IslandsofNo #DarkArt #Fishounds #Surreal #ArtShare #BookArt #BookSky
A surreal, symmetrical illustration mounted on a square black card. The artwork features a large full moon or stone disk with abstract antlers extending from its top. In the center stands a black humanoid figure with a yellow triangle for a head. On either side are pitchfork-like symbols and small horned creatures. Lightning bolts crackle above. A path leading from the foreground to the center is lined with glowing yellow cone shapes, evoking a ceremonial or ominous atmosphere. The background fades from brown to black, speckled with white dots like stars. A dark, symmetrical illustration mounted on a square black backing. The central figure is a shadowy humanoid with antler-like white branches growing from its head. A yellow triangle floats where its face should be. Two black spears or stakes flank the figure within a grey moon-like circle. Yellow lightning bolts hover above, while the ground is patterned with dots, pitchforks, and pyramid shapes that glow with yellow light. The image gives off an ominous, ritualistic atmosphere.

A gritty concert poster with bold, distressed typography and a chaotic color palette of red, yellow, black, and white. Dominating the center is a sinister, cartoonish red devil figure with exaggerated, sharp white teeth, wide, manic eyes, clawed hands, and white horns. The devil is set against a background of grungy textures with splashes of yellow and red. The text announces a Saturday event at “Bird City” featuring “The Fishounds,” with openers “Dead Trees” and “Calamity,” hosted by “Bird Man” and “Big Dan.” Additional details include “Doors at 20:00,” “Cover 10¢/16$,” and “No Minors, No Imperials.” In the bottom corner, the artist’s mark reads “No.”

Nine small plastic bags, each containing a folded black-and-white illustrated booklet with metallic silver and yellow details, are neatly arranged in a grid on a wooden surface. The artwork on the cover features a large silver moon-like circle with three upward arrows, flanked by tridents and lightning bolts, with the title “Fishounds” by Jimmo above. Accordion-fold art book laid out on a wooden surface, featuring dark pages printed with silver and yellow inks. The spreads combine hand-drawn illustrations—grim figures, fish, hooks, skeletal faces—with poetic text about the moon, blood, harpoons, and fishhounds. Highlights include a silver moon marked with a yellow X, a cloaked skeletal figure, and verses that mix violence, surreal imagery, and ritualistic chanting.

Happy to see this story coming together. A few more tweaks and it will be ready to print!

A large fish is suspended upside down by a chain against a black background. Blood drips from its mouth, forming a pool below where small human-like figures stand. One figure appears to be lying on the ground. The scene evokes a sense of mystery and unease, blending elements of nature and the macabre.

open.substack.com/pub/oldjimmo...

#IslandsOfNo #DarkArt #Surreal #Fishes #IndieComics #Poetry #ArtShare
A dark, surreal, and fragmented digital illustration arranged in a three-by-three grid. The artwork has a hand-drawn, textured aesthetic in black and white. Each panel features cryptic text, eerie imagery, and abstract symbols, evoking themes of folklore, the sea, and the supernatural. 1. The top-left panel displays the words “FISH HOUNDS” arranged in a tic-tac-toe style grid, with “BY JIMMO” written beneath. 2. The top-middle panel features a poem about the moon, describing its rise and polished glow, with the phrase “We howl to her, AWOOOOOO!” at the end. 3. The top-right panel presents a scratched-out full moon with two crossed lines, resembling an artist’s mark. 4. The middle-left panel contains a poem about deep-sea fish lurking beneath glass waves, accompanied by illustrations of fish and cryptic symbols. 5. The center panel showcases a haunting, horned humanoid figure with hollow eyes and upraised hands, with the name “RVN” written below. 6. The middle-right panel describes the call of the leviathan drawing fishhounds downward, illustrated with hooks and jagged lines. 7. The bottom-left panel is dominated by a massive, open-mouthed sea creature with razor-sharp teeth. 8. The bottom-middle panel illustrates a chaotic nautical scene with ghostly figures, harpoons, and the words: “Soon we’ll sail and sink, smoking, creaking, barking. Our motley band of fishhounds, harpoons rigged, guns loaded. Fortified, ahead full. READY.” 9. The bottom-right panel features a cloaked figure wearing a mask labeled “FAT FISHES,” exuding a sinister presence.

A black textured background features faint, hand-drawn illustrations of large, fish with skeletal and abstract details in white. Centered is a poem written in a whimsical, handwritten font: “Terrible Tonee swears Under her glass veneer Lurk the mighty, fat fishes Heretofore unmolested By the likes of we.” The overall mood is dark, eerie, and mysterious.

Busy few days. Here’s my latest work from 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘕𝘰—a surreal, fragmented world shaped by violence, the struggle for survival, and dark humour.

#IslandsofNo #ArtShare #DarkArt #SurrealArt #AtmosphericArt #ConceptArt #EerieAesthetic #Storytelling #WorldBuilding #Sci-fi
A collage of nine dark, surreal illustrations arranged in a 3x3 grid. The top-left features a monochrome book cover titled “Histories of the Calamities” with gothic fonts and skeletal imagery. The top-center showcases a red devilish creature labeled “The Fishounds” with bold yellow and red backgrounds. The top-right has an ominous design with glowing yellow symbols and the phrase “We Toil in Darkness.” The middle-left depicts a shadowy tower against a teal sky with a small moon. The middle-center shows a mountain glowing with purple hues and constellation-like dots. The middle-right portrays green-tinged submarines labeled “Submarine Graveyard” with cryptic symbols. The bottom-left features a sinister figure with birds on branching antlers and vibrant yellow highlights. The bottom-center is a sketchy drawing of a man with a red bowtie and apron, graffiti-like text reading “F*** You” and “Die Imperial Scum” in the background. The bottom-right illustrates a simple, ghost-like figure with a bleeding red mouth standing against a dark mountainous backdrop. The artist’s mark, “No,” appears on several of the images.

A display of surreal art and merch on a wooden surface. At the center is a dark print of a masked figure carrying a heavy weight, rendered in stark white lines against a black background. Beside it is a large circular patch reading “POP’S PUNK WERX” with a man’s face and lightning bolts. Above sits a folded card featuring the same masked figure, and a small square packet holding a copy of Fishounds. In the corner is the artist’s mark “NO” alongside the website IONO.CA.

Moonfish #islandsofno #fishounds #illustration #blackandwhite #moon #fish
A black-and-white illustration of a fish floating against a dark background resembling a starry night. The fish appears translucent, with intricate scales and fins outlined in white. It has a crossed-out mark near over its eyes and mouth, giving it a surreal and abstract look. The background features the moon and small star-like dots scattered around, creating a cosmic or dreamlike atmosphere.

𝘍𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘴 is an accordion fold book of strange symbols, ghostly figures, and impossible seas. Black stock, silver and yellow inks, unfolding into a world that isn’t quite ours.

Getting this into the Islands of No shop this week. Will have copies for sale at the Print Hole if you’re in #yyj
