Jon Aedyn King - Aedyn Jak

Jon Aedyn King, aka Aedyn Jak, is a boundary-pushing multimedia artist, writer, and director. Under the name Aedyn Jak, he creates immersive books, visuals, and audio projects that channel his relentless curiosity about the universe.

A globetrotting creative force, Jon has published five books—Disquiet Milk (2015), Magic Rope (2017), PostHuman Blaze (2018), In Communion with Gods (2021), and the upcoming Atavistic Love (2024). His works blend poetry, prose, and striking imagery. His debut Disquiet Milk sold out its first two print runs, while PostHuman Blaze broke boundaries by using his body as a visual canvas.

Jon’s bold artistry extends beyond writing to Jakplanks—vivid wood-based artworks blending the supernatural with the whimsical—and award-winning films like Case at Riddle Crossing (2014) and A Mocking Mile Tale (2018). On YouTube, his channel jonaedynking mixes quirky narratives and sharp social commentary, with close to half a million views.

In October 2024, Jon showcased his book illustrations as the guest artist for the prestigious Barcolana event in Trieste at the Hilton Double Tree.

Inspired by adventure, nature, archaeology, and myth, Jon’s global travels continue to fuel his art.
