This is the category for all the quasi-storyboards and other art associated with a screenplay written by Iago Faustus, called Auto-Icon. The arrangement of posts should show all the storyboards in sequence of publication, beginning with the most recent. The arrows at the bottom of the page are counter-intuitive as a consequence of theme organization. “Older Posts” advances the reader further in time, “Newer Posts” backwards.
