Carpet Cleaning may not be the most glamorous of industries, but when looked at with wit and imagination, it's a fun topic.

And so much more!In 2018, Jeremiah Strickland had the privilege of participating in ArtPrize 10 in Grand Rapids, MI, turning Harmony Hall (an excellent independent brewery and pizzeria) into a living coloring book. The contents of this book comprise of the drawings made to hang on Harmony’s walls. The following pretentious statement hung alongside them:“I built a ship. It's sailing a sea called Harmony Hall. My ship’s hull is the black and white illustrations on the walls. The sails are crayons, markers, and colored pencils. You are the wind. Art can be humanity’s vehicle for exploring feelings and ideas that can’t be expressed in words. Art democratizes the intangible, as every observer sails away with their own unique perspective on the meaning of a piece of art, regardless of the artist's original intent. Art is a cooperative experience.“Color Your Own Shiny Red Nothing” removes the barrier between art and observer by removing the glass from the frames. Don't just look... Touch! This ship was mine, but now it's yours too. To steer. To color. To have fun with. To add meaning to. To individualize. To share.I'm Jeremy. I'll be your captain if you'll be my wind. Enjoy the ride.Where do you want to go?”

- Ship Of Theseus: A Novel. Gutterpunk Literary Fiction/bizarro fiction/magical realism. Jeremiah Strickland; 2020

*In 2006, writer Wayne Bird loses his girlfriend Sally (AKA: VD) to a heroin overdose while housesitting for Dorothy, an art dealer. Isolated in Dorothy’s haunted apartment and surrounded by her vivid, surreal collection of paintings, Bird parties, hits on the vampire from downstairs, and obsesses over the Skyrat video game he can’t beat… Anything to avoid his grief. Deeply depressed, his grip on reality crumbles, the apartment’s ghosts close in, and his own demons threaten to consume him. Literally.

However, transported to the plague-ridden Earth of a parallel reality, Wayne finds his purpose and new love as a freedom fighting journalist. Nearly 150 years after we first meet him, semi-retired and working as a creative writing teacher at Green City High School, Mr. Bird comes face to face with the Skyrat, the superhero he made up when he was only seven years old. When Skyrat accepts a crucial mission from Bird, he gets mixed up with math worshipping cultists, a pair of questionably ethical cops, a hive-minded street gang, a skin-shedding monster, and a crime boss with a vendetta against a warlord in the Evil East.

Is Wayne Bird’s entanglement with Skyrat a coincidence? A cosmic inevitability? The senility of an old man?

Or could it be fate....

Prepare to question your own reality as you join Wayne and Skyrat to embark on the strangest adventure in this dimension!
