Greetings Earthlings, here is the first post in a series of posts dedicated to world-building the imaginary land where all of my paintings take place. All of the content about my imaginary world is either scribbled in my sketchbooks or typed out in scattered computer files, so this series of blog posts is an attempt to formalize the material. Eventually, I plan to compile all the posts into a single Wiki page on my website called “Stories”. In addition to the Southwestern Bellows World Compendium, it will also include the narratives from my past series of paintings and juicy details about recurring characters and….aliens.
