I’m Adam Spizak, a designer and illustrator based in the UK. I love making art that combines my passion for sci-fi and storytelling with my love for nature and spiritual wellbeing.

“mAnimals Universe” is a series that follows the proto-animals, a race of ancient beings from four-dimensional space that guard nature’s tranquillity.

The series started by exploring sci-fi themes influenced by great surreal artists like H.R. Giger and Frank Herbert’s great writers. Slowly growing and expanding. Focusing on nature’s themes and connected to spirituality and wellbeing – each animal has a deeply personal meaning to me, and each reflects different struggles and hopes. Making the animals and creating these small worlds helps to personify my feelings as well as anxieties.

Each new artwork has a bit of lore that gives it context in the world of mAnimals, sometimes referring to the human side of that world – sometimes closer to the inner monologues, more self-reflective. I love storytelling and always enjoyed combining artwork and poetry.

Thank you, hope you enjoy this little passion project of mine.

Atlas, The Equator

[You must look after them, they need guidance] his father once said; the delicate young organics. The Threes. Observing them was his duty, those tiny creatures. [They worry so much]. He was there when they swam in the oldest water, when they split the fragment and scorched their green moon. He guided them to the Golden Path and through The Scattering when they drifted through the endless stars, lost and lonely. So lonely.

Scythian, The First Father.

He awoke when the first spark of consciousness was born. As the Great Tree exploded across time, so did he. He was nowhere, and he was everything.  Scythian was a name given to him by the “Threes”; that’s what he called the young beings from the lower dimensions. Threes. They were not [inaudible dialogue] [“focused”]; they are [inaudible dialogue] [“frail”]. He thought about how they could not walk through the dimensions like he did or drink from the stream-of-always-time? He was sad for them, often. Maybe one day they will, he thought.

Sedna, The Just

Encounter No. 1511. Year.65452.12 [classified] First void pilots said encountering her changes you. Your fears, doubts, anxieties – all go away. The Old Tribe called her [The Oracle] Asariri The Just. The Kensari have stories as old as the oldest mountains foretelling her return; they say her coming will carry a new age of knowledge. They also say it will awaken Chronos, The Prime Chaos.
