A handmade black wooden display box labeled with the artist’s mark Islands of No, holding small accordion books titled Fishounds. The books feature a silver circular figure with three spears, lightning bolts, and jagged hills, printed in silver, yellow, and white inks on black paper.
DIY merchandising has its own kind of charm. Just about ready to put these out at the Print Hole in #yyj — come check them out if you’re nearby.

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.
So satisfying to see these all lined up

A close-up of an accordion-fold art book titled Fishounds by Jimmo. The cover shows a surreal figure with a circular head, downward lines like tears, and geometric yellow accents. Surrounding it are tridents, strange symbols, and cosmic patterns. The book rests on a wooden table, with the logo of the website IONO.CA appearing in the bottom corner.
An accordion-fold art book displayed on a wooden surface. The center panel shows a delicate white line drawing of a seated figure holding a fish, rendered in a loose sketch style. Surrounding panels feature fragments of text about fishhounds, weapons, and the call of the leviathan, interspersed with hook and trident motifs. The logo of the website IONO.CA appears in the corner.
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.

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.
Final proof of Fishounds is here—metallic inks shining like moonlight. 🌝✨ Just a few more weeks until 50 copies land in my hands. 🎉

A collection of small, square booklets or prints arranged on a wooden table. Each item features a dark, surreal illustration of a horned figure with yellow lightning bolts and geometric patterns, centered beneath a large moon. The designs are bundled with elastic bands in various colors. A chalk-like question mark is drawn in a dotted square at the bottom center, and the words “NO” (an artist’s mark) and “IONO.CA” (a website) appear in the bottom right corner.
I think number eight is going to be the one 🎱🎱🎱

A printed sheet featuring a collage of surreal black-and-white illustrations and cryptic text blocks on a dark background, accented with red and yellow ink. Imagery includes a skeletal fish, a horned child, a veiled figure with a skull-like face, symbols, and handwritten notes referencing myths and monstrous creatures. A bold yellow “X” is painted over a dark moon-like circle. In the lower right corner, the words “NO” (an artist’s mark) and “IONO.CA” (a website) are printed in white.
About to start cutting, scoring, and stitching another prototype together. Every little step gets me closer to being able to hold it in my hands 🤲 🐡 #IslandsofNo #DarkArt #Surreal #Fishounds
A photograph of a handmade accordion-style art book with black pages, opened and standing on a wooden surface. The panels display dark, surreal illustrations. On the left panel, a gray figure with antlers stands before a large moon-like circle, surrounded by yellow lightning bolts and trident-like symbols. On the right panel, a white, horned skull-like figure is framed by abstract glyphs and ghostly handprints. The tone is ominous and mythic, evoking a ritualistic or cultic atmosphere.
Third prototype is looking good. Dropped one panel—14 instead of 15—and suddenly it all clicked into place. Sometimes taking something away is the right thing to do. Next, back to my InDesign file to make adjustments 🧮

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.
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.

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

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.
Work continues on pages for my Fishounds tiny book

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.
Extra material from a story I’m working on about a band of motley fishounds #islandsofno #fishounds #illustration #writing #poetry #surrealist #blackandwhite
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.

A few illustrations I’ve been working on for a mini-book about a motley band of fishounds who sail to the moon so that they might hunt the fat fishes. #scifi #horror #writing #verse #fishounds #islandsofno
