Something strange is brewing in this little neighborhood. Are they rocket scientists working on a bare-bones budget? Or are these kids about to blow up their garage? When newly formed particles of cosmic litter start dreaming about life beyond the exosphere, not even the mailman is safe.
The Dream
The idea for Sliver of Light was born from a single illustration by Joey Livingston, of kids building something together in their garage. It was an expression of hope that this spirit of curiosity and invention would continue to be passed down to our future generations.
Since then, like those kids in that first simple sketch, it's taken many bumps, bruises, cataclysmic crashes, tears of rage and relief, to finally arrive at something truly beautiful and original. Now, after multiple rewrites, revisions, and complete page redraws, we find ourselves with a perfect seed for epic storytelling in the uncountable episodes to follow.
The Author
Joey Livingston is a professional illustrator and software engineer residing in Florida. He currently serves as art director for a bi-weekly comic strip, as well as CTO for a DC think tank. In his youth, he fell in love with the work of Bill Watterson, Marc Silvestri, and other legendary artists. He dreamt of one day telling a story of his own through this magical medium. As an adult, he realized that he would never achieve this dream without a single inspiring idea from which to begin. So after many sketches and writing attempts, Sliver of Light was born. He has worked in his spare time since then to bring this project into a fully developed state.
