Sergio sits at his desk, bored, watching the living binderclips argue, lounge and wave right under his nose — Bored · A

The binderclips' dance party on the desk freezes as Sergio walks into the cubicle — FREEZE! HUMAN! · A

Sergio pushing his skateboard down a quiet suburban street, the binderclips peeking out of his hood; the laundromat and the old house ahead — In the hood

The binderclips climb the red strings of the crime board toward a hooded figure; Sergio's face reflected in the laptop — The board · A

The Mission

An illustrated book in the making. This site holds its Art Bible and every run that builds it, side by side. Everything here is read from one source: the manuscript of The Mission (version 2, 58,122 words, ends mid-way through "Connor's View").

Status, 18 October 2026.

Done: every character's story from the text; the book broken into 125 scenes with costume and continuity; the rules of the world; 10 decisions on looks.
The look is set: a real live-action movie; only the living binderclips (and the doodled faces of living objects) are drawn on.
Approved: Sergio and the binderclips.
Waiting for the art director: sheets for the rest of the cast (23 sheets, all passed the realism check), 23 contradictions and 10 open threads.
Next: places and props, then key scenes, then the three outputs: book illustrations, comics and an animation storyboard.

Start here: who are you?

Art director. Read Open questions first: 23 contradictions and 10 open threads wait for decisions. Then Characters.
Team. Read Scenes, Character sheets, Characters and World and places. Click any item marked ¶ to see the lines of the book it comes from.
Client. Read the Art Bible overview for where the work stands.
Agent. Read the Art Bible overview, then the technical notes at its end. Treat the manuscript as the only source of truth.

What is here

Art Bible — working draft 0: world, places, characters and open questions, all from the text.
