Their works, often spiced with narrative overlay, have prompted one critic to describe them as the David Lynch of architecture.

Summary:
Thirteen Postcards of illustrations from the book of narrative poetry We Will Be Fish. These images are compiled from turn-of-the-century mail-order catalogs, medical & zoological textbooks, and engineering diagrams. We Will Be Fish is a collection of narrative poems and illustrations, which can be viewed here, published by Pistol Press in 2008. It was listed for the 2008 ReLit Awards and 2009 Expozine Awards, and a top ten seller at Drawn & Quarterley in 2008. The story follows the life of Leopold Canary, who loses his wife to sleeping sickness and gets tangled up in a government scam covering the truth behind the disease. He goes on to try and find his place in other small towns, at times working as an appliance designer, a self-appointed dentist, and the guide of his own basement museum. With thirteen cards you can choose your favorites for the fridge and use the rest to tell your grandma about all the nifty things you've been up to as of late.

Not stories in the usual sense, these are instead a series of evocative sketches or “narrative nuclei,” each the genesis for a possible future film. Although he ultimately didn’t develop most of these ideas further, encountering them now provides a unique(...)
