A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
- H.L. Mencken
I'm an artist/musician/computer technician from St. Louis working in the IT field in Charlottesville, Virginia. I live and breathe technology from 8:30 to 5:30 M-F, with evenings and weekends spent primarily on my current experimental/black metal project "Catalogue of Grievances" and artwork. My pics section has 4 little samples of a wood-burning/carving I'm completing called "The Beholder," but I hope to upload additional work soon (a photographer I am not. In fact, I'm primarily a draftsman/painter). I work with dark, often figurative imagery and like to explore the balance between order and chaos. I find myself obsessed with providing an equally enjoyable (and often different) experience to my audience both up close and at a distance.
You'll wanna be up close.
I have a passion for (and extensive background in) the physical, philosophical, and occult sciences. It is rivaled only by my love for the written, visual, and musical arts.
My friends can call me Matt. ;-)
A Chiara, Madda, Fede, Alba... Matteo Maligno. Sempre. I still dream of you.
