Afrenasia

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.

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.
