BE MOVED.
We’re doomed.
I could point out all the reasons why, but that’s so cliché. We know why. We feel it every day as we scroll ourselves into infinite novelty. Machines of Lovecraftian potential have became commonplace. The notion of truth is evaporating. We coexist with thousands of nuclear weapons, our climate has entered an unstable feedback loop, we’re actively waging war on the psyche of everyone on earth and we’re teaching the sentient internet to judge us.
We’re doomed.
My work is about Faith. Faith is not to be confused with Hope, which in the face of certain doom is a flimsy thing. Hope buckles at tragedy; Faith becomes stronger. I have an irrational conviction that we can make things better, and that there is a way to alchemize our drowning suffering into something beautiful and kind. I don’t know if we can make the world better – but I know that if there’s a chance, it can only be seized by believing.
My work is intended to tickle that part of you. I want to crack through your cynical carapace and open you to wonderful possibility. I want to plant seeds that will blossom into understanding. I want my work to move you – to change you – and so I say: Be Moved.
Everything else is incidental.
Seek, and ye shall find.
THE ORACLE & GAME SYSTEM
A Game. An Oracle. An Album. A Myth.
Funded on Kickstarter in 2020 and developed over the course of 7 years with the help of over 20 artists, musicians and designers, The Anthromancer tabletop entertainment system is unlike anything else on the market. Don't get intimidated - It's Deep, not Hard.
Explore The Mercenarium Arcade, a suite of original card games curated for high drama and collaborative problem solving. The arcade is built around a patented mechanic that delights players of all backgrounds, and feels like Chess meets Poker. It takes about 20 minutes to learn the basics, and a lifetime to master.
Dive into Dragonfruit Alchemy, an oracle inspired by tarot and the changing lines of the I Ching, and discover how the classical elements can draw out our truth. Flip the system on its head and uncover profound self-knowledge through the reflective contemplations it inspires.
Listen to The Hymnal and breathe life into the music of a bygone civilization. Investigate the hidden meanings of each hymn, and develop your mastery of Anthromancy.
Consume the tale of The Fool and The Fox, a myth of grief, sorrow, and transformation, and the key to understanding the true purpose of the work.
Each experience is included in a seamless and beautiful product package that will look pristine in any respectable collection of games and occultist ephemera. It was designed to stand the test of time.
THE ORIGINAL MUSIC
Anthromancer's musical act is evolving towards stadium-rock in a style somewhere between The Postal Service and Muse.
Our debut album, The Hymnal (released April 22, 2020), is a conceptual work designed to accompany the Anthromancer tabletop entertainment system. Our sophomore work Absynthe & Honey (released August 1st, 2022) showcases distorted bass riffs, arp synthesizers, dance beats and a trademark high tenor vulnerability. Follow us on your favorite streaming platform and get ready for exciting shows and performances in the years to come.
