Season 2

Aon Victus Reunite

In this episode, Aon and victus reunited with each other. Aon shares what he has learned about the Prime race and the two try to come up with a plan to address the Sect issue.

The Mushroom Network — How Aon's Galaxy Actually Communicates

A side quest into the mechanics of Aon's world: mushroom spores as a galaxy-wide quantum communication network, the mycelia species built to use it, and the lost civilization whose leftover technology inspired the jump drive Aon is building. Background, not story.

The Bedouin

Aon meets "Cal" — the last prince of the Atlians, now a neural imprint drifting through the tech of a dead civilization. Cal has something to say about coin flips, fate, and the difference between being chosen and choosing. Then: a ship the size of a continent powers back to life for the first time in hundreds of thousands of years, and it needs a name. Jack provides one. The Bedouin is born — an ark ship carrying whole biomes, preserved species, and a captured sun for a drive. First stop: a remote asteroid cluster, and a voice on the other side of the static.

The Coin | Jack the Spacedog

After what feels like a lifetime stranded on the planet of a lost civilization, Aon and Jack have settled into something resembling a rhythm — daily training with Tim (the terminally irritable machine), manifested pizza, coffee in the morning, and paintings of Jack. Progress has been made. Real progress. But today, Tim does something unexpected. He clears the training ground and sets a single coin on a pedestal. Pick it up — go home. Turn it over — keep training. For Aon, it's not that simple. He's become two people: the frightened young man who misses home, and something larger — a repository of an entire civilization's memory, coolly calculating what's best for everyone. These two minds can't agree. So he does what any cosmic drifter would do. He flips the coin while Tim explains why fate doesn't exist. We'll leave it there.

The Weight of What I've Become | Jack the Spacedog

I came out of the transformation changed forever — and now I actually understand what I agreed to. In Episode 4, I'm breaking down the full weight of what's happened: the scale of the threat we're facing, what the transformation has done to me on a biological level, what I can and can't do with these new abilities, and why — despite all of it — I still just want to go home. This is the Jack the Space Dog series, where Aon and his loyal service dog Jack find themselves caught up in something far bigger than either of them ever expected. If you haven't seen the earlier episodes, start from Episode 1 to follow the story from the beginning.

Through the Ring | Jack the Spacedog

Some doors aren't meant to be opened. Some rings aren't meant to be stepped through. In Episode 3, pilot Aon encounters a mysterious ring — and decides to step inside. What happens next changes everything. This is the Jack the Space Dog series, where pilot Aon and his loyal service dog Jack explore the uncharted edges of space — and discover that the universe has a few surprises even for the most experienced pilot. About the Series: Jack the Space Dog follows the adventures of pilot Aon and his companion Jack as they face the unknown, survive the impossible, and find out just how far transformation can take you. Each episode is rooted in the detailed sci-fi paintings I create in my art studio.

The Blind Jump | Aon Lands in the Pocket Universe

Cornered by enemies with nowhere to run, Jack and Aon make a desperate choice: activate the jump drive without coordinates. One blind leap through space later, they find themselves stranded on an unexpectedly beautiful planet. But beauty doesn't mean safety—and they have no idea where they are.

Jack the Space Dog Adventures with Aon

I am Aon, this is where I share the stories behind my paintings—starting with Jack the Space Dog. In this video, I'm talking about how Jack's story first came to me and what it's really about. If you're into sci-fi art, behind-the-scenes artist life, or just love a good space dog story, you're in the right place.
