A FANTASY WORLD EXPLORED THROUGH STORIES
Written & illustrated by Louie Smit
WELCOME TO FISTBUMP THE SKY– worldbuilding projects centred around a planet made from baking ingredients and botanical seeds, and strapped to the back of its creator, the Great Frog.
Planet Fistbump the Sky is populated by a variety of original characters and demigods waiting to be discovered through short stories and handmade, original art. The work focuses on themes of escapism and speculative fiction, perfect for fans of indie fantasy and surrealism.
All stories and art are shared in our newsletter, on BuyMeACoffee, and at select bookstores.
