Journey into a Surreal Dystopia: The Book of Immersion by Tale Teller Club

In the realm of literature, there exist rare gems that transcend traditional storytelling boundaries, weaving a tapestry of worlds that blur the lines between reality and fantasy. The Book of Immersion by Tale Teller Club is one such enchanting creation that beckons readers into an intriguing, dystopian universe where the ordinary and the extraordinary collide, and nothing is quite as it seems.

The narrative within The Book of Immersion unfolds in a world unlike any other, teetering on the precipice between reality and fantasy. The characters that inhabit this literary realm are primarily divided into two categories: humans and robots. Yet, it's the enigmatic homotechs that truly captivate the imagination. These peculiar entities straddle the line between humanity and machinery, a testament to the novel's capacity for pushing the boundaries of storytelling.

As readers embark on their journey through this strange and fascinating world, they'll quickly discover that "The Book of Immersion" is not your typical dystopian narrative. Here, music and literature hold the keys to unlocking a sensory cerebral high, painting a vivid backdrop of emotions and experiences that are nothing short of otherworldly. This convergence of art forms infuses the story with a unique and compelling energy, creating a narrative atmosphere that is, quite literally, immersive.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this book is its ability to harmonize ethereal surrealism and stark reality, a duality that is typically challenging to balance. The Tale Teller Club seamlessly combines the two, allowing them to coexist within the same literary space. The juxtaposition of the bizarre and the everyday blurs the boundaries of possibility, making readers question what is real and what is a product of their own imagination.

The characters in The Book of Immersion are not just ordinary beings; they are multifaceted and dynamic, revealing layers of complexity as the narrative unfolds. The homotechs, in particular, challenge preconceived notions of identity and existence, highlighting the fine line that separates humans from machines. Their presence in the story adds a layer of philosophical reflection, exploring themes of consciousness, sentience, and the essence of what it means to be alive.

In this strange dystopian world, the reader is invited to partake in a profound journey of discovery. The Book of Immersion encourages us to reconsider our understanding of reality, delving into the depths of our own perceptions and pushing the boundaries of our imagination. It challenges us to see the world through a new lens and to explore the hidden facets of existence that may elude us in our everyday lives.

As you immerse yourself in the pages of The Book of Immersion, you will be transported to a world that defies conventions and embraces the extraordinary. Tale Teller Club's narrative mastery guides you through a mesmerizing landscape where the surreal and the tangible coexist, beckoning you to embark on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery.

In a world that increasingly blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, The Book of Immersion serves as a poignant reminder of the power of literature to transcend and transform, making it a must-read for those seeking to explore the unknown and question the limitations of their own imagination.

Art by Sarnia, an introduction to the work of Sarnia de la Maré FRSA


Some older work from my back catalogue.






I am a lifelong professional artist from the UK with a studio in England. I am also a musician with the Tale Teller Club.

My art attempts to captivate and enthrall the viewer with a blend of figurative elements, digital techniques, and hand painting.

The essence of my work:
Figurative Exploration: I usually feature human figures, capturing their emotions, expressions, and inner worlds. My subjects come alive through intricate details and they are often blended into an ethereal existence where realism and fantasy collide and suspend reality for the viewer.

Ethereal Aesthetics: The use of hand applied gold leaf and acrylics layers to digital pieces adds an otherworldly quality with exaggerated illuminations and textural elements. Gold has symbolized divinity, enlightenment, and transformation across cultures. By incorporating it, I elevate my subjects, hinting at their inner radiance and hidden depths.

Narrative Layers: Each artwork tells a story. Whether it’s the quiet intimacy of “The Nap” or the futuristic intrigue of “Ableteen Android,” I invite viewers to explore beyond the surface. Many of my compositions are illustrations from my science fiction and fantasy novels and hold layers of meaning waiting to be unraveled.

Reflection and Connection: My art invites introspection. It prompts us to consider our own humanity, emotions, and existence. Through my brushstrokes (hand or digital elements, I hope to bridge the gap between artist and audience, creating a shared emotional space.

Transcending Boundaries: The fusion of traditional techniques (such as oils) with digital media reflects the contemporary artist’s journey. I perpetually transcend boundaries, blending the timeless with the cutting-edge, much like my characters, those subjects who exist in both reality and imagination. I enjoy flipping expectations and blurring the lines between free and constrained techniques.

I seek the symphony of form, emotion, and symbolism which invites us to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the interplay of light, shadow, and human experience. 

My narrative is paramount with decoration flowing beneath. Often the beauty is in the ugly and I am never afraid to make art that protests, jars or evokes disapproval.

MAKE OFFER




I use many processes to achieve my results.
I take a photographs of my first inspired designs and manipulate them in Procreate using digital pens. I then have it blown up into a large photographic image which is delivered to my studio mounted or unmounted canvas for overseas orders, dependent on requirements.
At this point I use oils, oil pastels, or acrylic paints, inks, or other materials to create a more textural immersive artwork that shows the artist’s hand. Finally I varnish the canvas or leather for protection.
I only produce one of each size and all versions are unique due to the hand processes.
Commissions are welcomed and make up the largest number of my sales.
