J. Ramos Works | Tales from Aodhanis

Aodhanis (pronounced eh-yawn-is) is a name born from two worlds: the Gaelic Aodhan, meaning “little fire,” and the Greek Adonis, meaning “beautiful.” Together, they spark a place of beauty, creation, and inspiration.

Beginning in January 2025, Tales from Aodhanis is a long-term storytelling project unfolding through a growing collection of short stories that build the lore of a rich sci-fi/fantasy world. Its map is intentionally open—a blank canvas capable of holding countless tales filled with wonder, mystery, and transformation.

Each story is inspired by artwork created from found, recycled, or upcycled materials—objects once discarded and reimagined. The themes, process, and moments that arise during each artwork’s creation directly shape the stories, allowing the world of Aodhanis to grow from both imagination and renewal.

Artwork Inspired by Toys for Tots - Spark-E the Tinkerer

Project #4 began with a simple (and mildly unhinged) challenge: take random, found, upcycled materials—the kind of stuff most people wouldn’t think twice about throwing away—and force them into a tiny Christmas ornament. Not decorate the ornament. Not hang it. Stuff an entire character inside it.

From Junk to Luck: The Birth of Luck-E the Mandarin

My very first build project started as a simple challenge to create a robot from recycled materials quickly became something more. With no plan, no expectations, and a mandarin fruit cup at its center, a small robot emerged—along with an unexpected purpose. Born during Lunar New Year and shaped by chance, Luck-E the Mandarin marked the start of a creative journey where discarded objects became meaning, story, and art.
