About Art of FACELESS
Founded in 2012 by Lloyd Lewis, Art of FACELESS is an independent publishing imprint and transmedia studio based in Cardiff, Wales.
We publish adult speculative fiction and transgressive body horror across physical print, interactive visual novels, 3D cinematics, and digital soundscapes.
We are the originators and publishers of The Hollow Circuit® — an ongoing transmedia universe exploring biological obsolescence, machine symbiosis, and flesh-circuit integration.
The Imprint
Art of FACELESS is a registered UK publisher of record with the Nielsen ISBN Agency. We design, produce, and distribute our own work directly:
-
Limited Physical Print: Hand-bound editions, archival zines, novellas, and bespoke narrative artefacts.
-
Interactive & Screen Media: Narrative visual novels, playable codices, and 3D virtual cinematics.
-
Sound & Signal: Original industrial audio suites, uncompressed spoken-word transmissions, and sonic world-building.
Every finished release stands on its own merits as a complete aesthetic object.
Sovereign Operations
We operate as an autonomous press. Platform feeds are treated strictly as broadcast transmitters.
We do not host discussions on algorithmic networks. We maintain an active editorial presence on Substack exclusively for literary dialogue, critical essays, and scouted submissions. The definitive archive, complete catalogue, and verified subscriber community remain entirely on our sovereign infrastructure.
The work exists. No face. No performance. No proof required.
