For years, this website has been that drawer in the kitchen where you shove everything that doesn’t have a place. Batteries, old keys, a USB cable from 2011, maybe a passport. You know it’s a mess. You tell yourself you’ll sort it out. You never sort it out.
Well, I sorted it out.
The site has been completely rebuilt from scratch — no more WordPress, no more themes that load forty-seven scripts to display a single painting. It’s pure static HTML now. Clean, fast, and finally showing the full picture of what I actually do, instead of the “I’m an illustrator, I guess?” version that’s been sitting here since the mid-2000s.
Everything in one place
Because apparently I can’t do just one thing. The new site properly covers all the obsessions:
Art — Thirty-plus years of illustration for Marvel, LucasArts, DC, Penguin Books, and more. Started with oils, studying Caravaggio and Boris Vallejo. Still at it, still chasing the golden ratio in everything I paint.
Music — Orchestral compositions under Music of the Old Gods. The Freya Seiðr Ritual Concert is in development — a full immersive performance planned for a limestone quarry in Sardinia, because apparently a normal venue wasn’t dramatic enough.
Technology — I’ve been writing code since I was ten years old. Twenty-five years of building things that scale, from early voice AI to the European Commission. The full career story is now on the site, starting from a teenager with an MSX and ending with 150+ API endpoints.
Physics — FLUX Theory. Thirty-four years of asking what the vacuum actually is. One geometric axiom. Over a hundred derivations. FluxMateria is the commercial application. I’m either onto something profound, or I need a better hobby. I’m aware of both possibilities.
Books — Three titles coming: The Violet Engine (sci-fi set in an alternate 1943), The Sigma Emperor (225,000 words of what happens when you derive the architecture of reality from first principles and the old world doesn’t like it), and The Shape of Everything (the popular science version, no equations required).
Why now?
Honestly? Because it was embarrassing. The old site had my illustration portfolio and basically nothing else. Anyone who Googled me got the impression I was an illustrator who occasionally mentioned physics at dinner parties. Meanwhile I had a Substack, a physics framework, an orchestral catalogue, two novels in progress, and a commercial molecular computation platform — none of which were anywhere to be found.
The new site fixes that. One person, one body of work, one through-line. The through-line, in case you’re wondering, is geometry. It’s always been geometry.
Come along
If any of this resonates — the art, the music, the physics, the fiction, or just the general stubbornness of refusing to pick a lane — there are two easy ways to follow along:
Substack — where I write about FLUX Theory, FluxMateria, and whatever else refuses to stay inside my head.
X / @musicofoldgods — shorter thoughts, updates, occasional arguments with the Standard Model.
The site is live. The drawer is sorted. The batteries are in the right place. For now.
