Afrenasia (series)

Afrenasia is an artistic project of brand whose primary designer is Grant Cool. Hosted at its own website, Afrenasia does not broadly come across as a work of fiction but merely an umbrella title for artwork created by Grant. The About page of the website does, however, posit a fictional multiversal framework for the images created.

This is the story of Afrenasia. Afrenasia is a 5th-dimensional concept object that regularly sends probes deep into 3-dimensional universes. It exists both inside and outside of time. Within various timestreams it has conceptualised itself as an island nation somewhere in south-east Asia, with its actual location shifting and never definite. It is a generator of ideas which it feeds to minds that make contact with it, thus dispersing the Afrenasia concept to new locations and situations. It is like a dream you swear is real, remembering fine details of location and conversation, but you have no idea how you got there, how you left or when it actually happened.

—Afrenasia: The Story

In 2002, Grant Cool illustrated one page of a never-continued Jenny Everywhere story under the title of COMIC: Afrenasia. Although the comic was cut short before any clear link to the aforementioned in-universe Afrenasia concept could be drawn, the title used an earlier variation of the same logo still used on the website as of 2021.
