I messed up the date in the original post for this so here we go again. I'm back playing live for the first time in almost an aeon and I can't wait, I couldn't think of a more incredible place to play than the beautiful Blue Mountains in the NSW. Held at the @thebaroqueroom in Katoomba on June 27th you couldn't dream of a better spot. What's more I get to take my partner in crime @mythscribe down for good measure.
This is going to be special with an awesome venue and a group of sonic allies: @tirofficial@_theaniseedshroud_@most_ominous_mystic@atavusinfectum
I had a great time working with the lads toward this poster painting (late WIP shot in there for you guys) and I'm really looking forward to revealing some Eternion tunes for the first time in the flesh.
Thanks to Oytun @orkoproductions and Cian @void_observance for organising a brilliant event.
Head to @humanitix to grab yours before they disappear forever and you miss this very rare chance to see so many Dungeon Synth and Dark Ambient projects in one historic place. 🔮
Art by @jonweber8 painted in gouache on Arches HP paper.
Eternion shirts are finally here! Presales are live for these four print long sleeve shirts on handmade 100% cotton printed by one of Australia's most esteemed metal and dungeon synth merch labels @brilliantemperor . All art was done by @jonweber8 , the illustrator behind the Lurid Orb Dungeon Synth project. Head to my links to grab yours. Worldwide shipping.
No AI was used in the creation of these images - Lurid Orb stands in solidarity against the use of generative AI in their work.
**PRESALE NOTE** This is a presale release only running until the end of April 2026 and once they are gone they are gone. Looking to ship by the start of June if there is no printing hiccups.**

Many thanks also to my wife, @helenapapageorgiou_ who has heard these songs way too much and made all the god changes. I love you x
Many thanks to @mythscribe who has helped me save many mixes from the brink of death and did a fantastic job mastering, thank you mate. I owe you my deathless soul. You are also a guide.
Thank you to my friend, @jim_urbanselfsufficiency Jim, who has helped Lurid Orb exist.
Thanks also to @brilliantemperor for repping me, honestly the best label in Oz and we'll have a serve of merch soon enough for you guys to indulge in if you see fit.
Thanks to @orkoproductions for the awesome friendship and tape reppage.
Dungeons or Death x 🔮
I never really posted about the completed work for the Fighting Fantasy card game (put out by Wallace Designs) I did going back a short while. This was a wild dream come true to work on stuff for such a crazy important and influential fantasy force. The job was riven with issues like deadlines being insane, source info to work from being minimal (sorry to all you name nerds out there who spotted issues with the map accuracy, I did what I could!) and a look and style --a bit too polished and slick digital--that was not my natural state. It's a shame I wasn't able to produce my best for this but here's a selection of my work on that project anyway. That said I'm glad to have worked on such a project and the game itself turned out nicely and it's crazy I was able to offer up my work (albiet even though it was highly edited) for a card set.
Plus I was able to do Out of the Pit II which rocked...
Mix of inks, acrylic, digital here etc.

Here's the second @trench_crusade piece I did for the beat effing merch crew on earth @ironlitanyprinting . It was epic to riff on the aftermath of a Prussian Gardekorps tank splitter vs Heretic Legions scenario. I just have to stress again how crazy cool it is to illustrate merch for a couple guys I idolize in the underground fantasy world. It's just unbelievably cool.
Cheers to you Mike for lining this up you are a god.
Ink on Arches HP paper. 🖤
‘Mighty’ Lurid Orb is leaving Brisbane behind and heading our way to summon something truly dark and epic at Cerulean Winter Night!
From day one, he’s been one of the strongest forces in the Orko catalogue and not just as a musician, but as a visual artist and illustrator who actually create! While the world keeps drowning in lazy AI trends, Lurid Orb stands firmly on the other side, putting in real hours, real craft, and real soul into everything he touches.
For this night, expect a special selection from Folded Vision and the latest release Eternion; immersive, cinematic, and unapologetically authentic!
We’re genuinely lucky to have him with us.
📍 Katoomba / The Baroque Room
📅 June 27 - Saturday

So excited to reveal these @trench_crusade merch designs I did for THE effing merch crew @ironlitanyprinting . Tuomas and Mike are two crazy inspirations for me so it was a blast to delve into the insane world they've created. Better yet they've done it all on their own without the big stupid corps to ruins it all. To do my version of the Prussian Tank Slicer was as rad as it gets for a job. Piece was ink on Arches HP paper with digital colour. Head over to @ironlitanyprinting to see all the insane merch opts.
Fun note is I'm actually of Prussian blood and went on a bit of a deep dive of where they actually came from. Was a longer and wilder ride than I expected and very cool to find out. Where are my Prussian's at?
Slice them tracks guys x

Here's the pieces I recently did for possibly the best underground fantasy gaming merch company on this big dumb globe we live on: @ironlitanyprinting . This wandering undead piece was for the most excellent tabletop game Necropolis ( designed by @owlshield ) and my pieces were largely based on the insane minis carved out by @blightbones . Mega cheers to the label for lining it up and hopefully more cool as hell projects to keep coming...💀🖤

Front image was ink on paper, the sleeves were inked digitally from pencilled scans.

Ok ok ok I crumbled to local pressure of it being too damn hot n humid about these parts not to do a short sleeve version so link updated and may you ever remain in the shade. 🔮
The Endless City Calls You Home. Do You Hear The Bells?
This is a Boxy Oversized fit shirt and I’d recommend if you want your usual fit order a size smaller, but if you want that roomier fit order your regular size
