Synopsis

From the deepest, darkest depths of two of the  most creative minds in all of human history comes 
THE ENCYLOPÆDIA
Featuring the lore, mythology, and illustrations of never-before seen hybrid creatures such as Sniders, Sceels, Squirsquitos, and other beasts whose names do not begin with the letter ‘S,’ THE ENCYLCOPÆDIA is better than The Sun Also Rises, Tender is the Night, Don Quixote, Anna Karenina, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Iliad, 1984, Candide , and every issue of Playboy from 1964-1972. 
THREE HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHERS who work with the author agree:
“ The Encyclopædia is the most exciting encyclopædia I’ve ever read, and I read A LOT of encyclopædia.” —Sarah Pendleton, English Teacher “This book is so good that I fell down and broke my foot.”—Leslie Stretton, English Teacher
“I hate James Noll and everything he stands for.” —Kevin Johnson, Social Studies “Teacher”
THE ENCYCLOPÆDIA is one of the strangest, most engrossing and entertaining books TO EVER EXIST

Jamie took to reading fantasy and science fiction before he could really draw. He used it as an escape from the real world, to lose himself in the beauty and danger of an amazing other place. That kind of escape provides a certain escapism that appealed to him, and his art is an extension of that earlier desire. Jamie's work is meant to elicit strong emotions, thoughts, and a sense of escape. He wants his viewers to feel like they've entered a different world, to find themselves elsewhere or otherwise for a moment, to lose themselves in the images.
