About Twelfthgecko Press

Twelfthgecko Press is a small-press operation based in Brooklyn NY, run independently by comic artist and illustrator Kiki Jones. Twelfthgecko Press self-publishes comics and artwork by Kiki, along with occasional collaborations with other artists. Twelfthgecko Press debuted in 2006 at the New York City Museum of Cartoon and Comic Art Festival and has been returning annually with comics, prints, and other delightful merchandise. Starting in 2007, Kiki worked for NBC Universal's website gURL.com creating auto-biographical shorts and the website's popular serialized interactive comic, "Crush," ultimately earning a nomination in 2008 for the Friends of Lulu Kim Yale (Best New Talent) Award. In 2009, Twelfthgecko Press curated the limited-edition anthology "Ectoplasm," containing horror stories by ten other up-and-coming cartoonists and illustrators. Most recently, Kiki's work will be appearing in the MTV Books publication Tales of Woe by author John Reed, due for release in August 2010. Twelfthgecko Press makes annual appearances at alternative comics conventions such as MoCCA and P.A.C.C. While Twelfthgecko Press primarily publishes Kiki Jones' work alone, it is pleased to have a handful of creative, talented artists and dedicated friends on board to help with the printing process and with convention publicity.

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 glamour 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.

To what extent may I use your art?

I have no problem with you reproducing my art for your own personal enjoyment, i.e. printing out my pictures to hang on your wall or using them as your desktop wallpaper. However, you may not reproduce my work for any purpose in which you will reap a profit (monetary or otherwise), or in any situation where you are claiming the work is yours (either by outright saying you drew it, or by implying that it is yours by neglecting to say you did not draw it). All material on this site is copyrighted to Kiki Jones.

I love to get fanart, so don't be shy and send me a copy! (If you are posting it on a website or blog, please remember to credit me for the character design.) If you are interested in reposting any of my art in a gallery, please contact me (I will probably be okay with it but I like to know where my work is going).

What does "Twelfthgecko" mean?

It sounded cool. There's no really no underlying meaning to it. I get this question a lot and nobody ever seems to believe me. But it's true! It just sounded cool so I went with it. ;A;

 

Thank you for your interest in Twelfthgecko Press! I've put my heart and soul into every drawing and I hope you'll come to love my art and my characters just as much as I do.

<3, Kiki Jones
