What is UKIYO?
Ghost In The Shell + Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas + Only lovers Left Alive = UKIYO
UKIYO. The word conjures images of the lives of Japanese courtesans and
the nobility, a life of excess and luxury. Or it can mean "sorrowful
world." A "transitory world." An implication of a separate, illusory
reality. A staging place for the afterlife. Author and illustrator
Cary Polkovitz's
UKIYO centers on an existence based on varying
perceptions. Hallucinatory visuals tell a tale inspired by the rapidly
advancing technologies of today's social media and global economic
interconnectivity.
UKIYO is a study in non-linear storytelling, drugs, online personas, and obsession.

The artist of UKIYO
Creator Cary Polkovitz cut his teeth as writer and penciler for NeoTek Iconography’s NAU Headhunter during his college years at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He then went on to illustrate “Miss Adventure” and “Kodiak” for Men’s Adventure and Penthouse Comix through the mid 90s.
Taking a break to teach art and become a well-known painter in South Florida’s “low-brow” art scene, and to have two volumes of his short stories published, Cary has since come back to his roots in the comic book industry.

His newest work is featured in ComicMix’s charity book for Norm Breyfogle, The Whisper Campaign, and is currently working on the companion piece to UKIYO, genius loci. Cary also publishes a slice-of-life webcomic called Meaning But Without the Words.
