Realm of Black Sun is a mythogenic universe. Not an adaptation of existing myths, not a remix, not a homage. It is an original cosmology with only myself as its progenitor: figurative art, literary science fiction, and a tabletop role-playing game sharing a single living world.
My name is André Martin. Artist and mythographer, Dutchess County, New York. The imagery here does not originate from research or reference; it emerges from a lifetime of contemplative practice. I began before I could read or write. The figures, civilizations, and omniversal structures you encounter were met first in meditation and dream, their ineffable weight importunate until rendered in pencil, charcoal, paint, and sometimes digital.
