The Infinite City. And they&#8217;re not kidding. Infinite. In every direction including up and down. It goes on forever. An infinite jungle of twisted buildings, forgotten dreams and wild untamed Thought. No one knows its age. The city forever rebuilds and repairs itself. Its artists constantly redesign everything. Its a living thing. Some theorize that its a plane of existence trapped between thought and reality. Where neither physics nor fantasy claim the crown. A universe unto itself where technology has made god-like power trivial. Where death, disease and famine are unheard of and wars are fought with music and art. One man spent a thousand years perfecting his chili. AND IT WAS AWESOME!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SurrealOrange-ButWhy.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SurrealOrange-ButWhy.png 750w, https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SurrealOrange-ButWhy-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>Early on I was thinking of doing this as a comic book and the style won&#8217;t be far off from that- but animated is better!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll start off following the adventures of Lucy (The punk rock girl with the red Mohawk. The only character from our Earth) as she discovers the strange new reality she&#8217;s in and learns how incredibly different her life could be- if she could ever get back home.<br>How Lucy got there from Earth she has no idea but just maybe with the help of Floyd, Tish and their friends they can figure it out- but no rush. Relax!!!<br>But does she want to go home? Good question! I love fish out of water stories but they always make me think- &#8220;Yeah, but what if they liked it better there?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"675\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/JMR-SO-EarltDesignIdea.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/JMR-SO-EarltDesignIdea.png 675w, https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/JMR-SO-EarltDesignIdea-300x188.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><figcaption>A very early idea I worked on back when I was learning 3D stuff in 2003 or 4.

Art and music will be a huge part of it- as well as cooking and pool!<br>The other characters she meets are Seekers and Traders. They travel into the wild patches of untamed Thought in search of adventure, art, music, lore, a nice pool hall or even a great recipe. Really- you can find anything there.<br>Anything!<\/p>\n\n\n            <div id=\"post-grid-lazy-372\" class=\"post-grid-lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" \/><\/div>\n        <script>\n            jQuery('#post-grid-lazy-372').ready(function($) {\n                $('#post-grid-lazy-372').fadeOut();\n                $('#post-grid-372   ').fadeIn();\n            })\n        <\/script>\n        <style type=\"text\/css\">\n            #post-grid-372  {\n                display: none;\n            }\n\n            .post-grid-lazy {\n                text-align: center;\n            }\n        <\/style>\n        <div data-options='{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;372&quot;,&quot;lazy_load&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;masonry_enable&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;view_type&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;}' id=\"post-grid-372\" class=\"post-grid grid\">\n                <div class=\"grid-items\">\n            \n    <div class=\"item item-598 skin flat even 0 \">\n                <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-\">\n                <div class=\"layer-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2022\/09\/10\/j-matthew-root-vlog-003\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/JMRVlog003FeaturedArt.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"layer-content\">\n            <div class=\"element element_1  title_link \">\n                    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2022\/09\/10\/j-matthew-root-vlog-003\/\">J Matthew Root \u2013 VLOG #003<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"item item-194 skin flat odd 1 \">\n                <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-\">\n                <div class=\"layer-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/casting-lucy\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SO-Casting-Lucy-Art1jpg.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"layer-content\">\n            <div class=\"element element_1  title_link \">\n                    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/casting-lucy\/\">Casting Lucy<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"item item-190 skin flat even 2 \">\n                <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-\">\n                <div class=\"layer-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/floyds-guitar\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/SO-Floyds-Guitar-F.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"layer-content\">\n            <div class=\"element element_1  title_link \">\n                    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/floyds-guitar\/\">Floyd&#8217;s Guitar<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"item item-186 skin flat odd 3 \">\n                <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-\">\n                <div class=\"layer-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/the-swift\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Swift-GalleryF-1024x576.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"layer-content\">\n            <div class=\"element element_1  title_link \">\n                    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/the-swift\/\">The Swift<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"item item-182 skin flat even 4 \">\n                <div class=\"layer-wrapper layout-\">\n                <div class=\"layer-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/the-phoenix\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Phoenix-GalleryF-1024x576.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"layer-content\">\n            <div class=\"element element_1  title_link \">\n                    <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jmrart.com\/surrealorange\/2021\/02\/12\/the-phoenix\/\">The Phoenix<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"pagination\">\n            <div class=\"paginate\">\n            <\/div>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n        #post-grid-372 .pagination .page-numbers {\n            font-size: 16px;\n            color: #fff;\n            background: #646464;\n        }\n\n        #post-grid-372 .pagination .page-numbers:hover,\n        #post-grid-372 .pagination .page-numbers.current {\n            background: #4b4b4b;\n        }\n    <\/style>\n    <\/div>\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">\n        #post-grid-372 .element_1 {\n            display: block;font-size: 21px;line-height: normal;padding: 5px 10px;text-align: left;
