About Twelfthgecko Press
Twelfthgecko Press is a small-press operation based just outside New York City which creates and prints the independent comics The Industry, Dead Little Princes, Icarus, and the related artwork seen in the gallery. Comic artist Kiki Jones has been working with with NBC Universal's website gURL.com since August 2007 and has produced auto-biographical shorts as well as the website's serialized interactive comic, "Crush." Kiki has also recently finished illustrations for an MTV Books publication set for release in summer 2009. Twelfthgecko debuted in 2006 at the Museum of Cartoon and Comic Art Festival and now returns annually with comics, prints, and other delightful merchandise.
Twelfthgecko Press is the current generation's approach to the world of comics, fusing a Japanese-inspired style with pop-culture-inspired content. The comics range from the openly humorous to the dark and macabre and are intended for a teenage and young adult audience, not for children (though none of the comics contain explicit material). Twelfthgecko's inspiration is based in the alternative music scene and from urban pop culture and trends, as well as the clean and polished look of Japanese anime.
About Kiki
When Miss. Kiki Jones is not attending classes at School of Visual Arts, feverishly toiling away at the lightbox, or chatting with her many esteemed connections throughout the international world, she recovers her energy by sleeping hanging upside down from the ceiling and seeking out sustenance by means of echolocation. Little is known about her likes and dislikes, hobbies, or true identity, but rumor has it that her favorite food is sandwiches, her favorite word is 'LOL,' and her favorite pastime is chasing attractive young emo boys she knows she'll never get with. Attempts to contact the elusive and enigmatic young comic-artist-in-chief of Twelfthgecko Press can be made through one of the various e-mails, instant message services, or websites below.
