Out of Reach is a collaborative project developed by Brynne Johnston and Christopher Lee.
Our project begins with our illustrated book, Out of Reach; the first installment of our developing fictional universe.
The content and characters are fantastical, yet grounded in reality, and we seek to eschew problematic tropes that exist in pop culture --notably issues of gender and race-- and we intentionally break away from these normalizing ideas.
While these are the high-minded principles which underscore our work, we seek to avoid heavy-handedness or didacticism , and instead present a world that celebrates rich diversity as a standard. Above all we wanted our world and characters to be fun, engaging and aesthetically exquisite; able to reach people of any age, race, culture and class.
Out of Reach is our introduction to this universe, and we intend to expand this universe through our own work, as well as collaboratively (for more information please check out our contact link above).
Now without further ado, we invite you to explore our world...
