About its genre: Muzakio is a picture book that aspires to serious literature per its designed capacity to entertain the child within us all.

Status: Muzakio is roughly 75% complete. I am now focused primarily on writing. Secondarily, my focus gravitates towards developing the work's illustrations. About the illustrations: I am exploring the possibility of rendering pages 06 - 35 monochromatically, and then rendering pages 36 - 54 (after an abrupt transition) in full color.

'Muzakio' will be the first in a series of similar comparison-type books. This series' second work will delve into the mythological conflict that might be said to exist between 'clean' and 'dirty'. This similarly illustrated work will be constructed around an imaginative and pristine ecosystem that is being threatened… and thus suggestively—polluted.

The conductor, Muzakio, and the band would adapt themselves to the premise of this next book by following Alexander—in an imaginative sense—on a vacation out of the city and into the wilderness.
