Art that Shocks, Awakens, and Provokes

Welcome to my Decaydead World, where art meets dystopia. My name is Argus Dorian, and I create dark, provocative artwork that forces you to confront the terrifying possibilities of the future. This blog is your window into a world where human experiments, cybernetic enhancements, and environmental collapse blend into a chilling reality.

My work isn’t here to comfort you. It’s here to make you question, make you uncomfortable, and make you think about the future we’re heading towards. A future where the boundaries between human and machine dissolve, and the line between survival and exploitation blurs into an inescapable nightmare.

The Vision: A World Where the Elite Controls All

In the Decaydead world I imagine, the powerful Elite are no longer content with merely ruling – they experiment on the rest of us, pushing the boundaries of human evolution. They aim to create the perfect humanoid assassin, a tool to maintain their dominance. The bodies of the powerless become test subjects, fused with cybernetic implants, manipulated DNA, and twisted consciousness. Humanity’s core is traded for efficient violence.

Why It Matters

I believe in using dark art as a mirror to expose harsh truths and possibilities. My creations may seem fantastical or grotesque, but they reflect a possible reality – a future shaped by today’s unchecked technological advances and growing divides between those in power and those without it. It’s a commentary on where we are headed if we continue down this path.

This is more than dystopian fiction. It’s a warning.

The Art of Survival

In this dark future, survival becomes an art form. Human beings are pushed to their limits, transformed into monstrous hybrids of flesh and metal. Some fight back, while others become the tools of their oppressors. Through my work, I explore their stories – the pain, the fear, and the fleeting hope that one day the tables might turn.

Each piece I create is designed to provoke a reaction. Whether it’s horror, anger, or reflection, I want you to feel something deep and visceral.

Exploring Cyberpunk Gore and Beyond

In Decaydead, I blend elements of cyberpunk and gore to create an aesthetic that is simultaneously high-tech and visceral, shiny and decayed. It’s a future where rotten flickering lights shine over a landscape of torn flesh and shattered souls. Where human evolution is no longer a slow process of adaptation but a violent, industrialized transformation.

This genre allows me to tap into your deepest fears about the future of technology, ethics, and human survival. The grotesque, the shocking, the unthinkable – it’s all here. And it’s a glimpse into the world we may be on the edge of creating.

What to Expect

In upcoming newsletters, you can expect:

Art with a Message: The deeper meaning behind each piece and why I believe it’s important to confront these dystopian realities.

Special Editions – Offers: Unique, limited-time prints and originals available only to subscribers with special discounts.

I challenge you to dive deeper into the horrors of what’s possible and consider—what would you do to survive in this world? And more importantly, would you still be human when you came out the other side?

Let’s explore this dark future together, one disturbing vision at a time.

Stay brave,


Argus Dorian

If you had the chance to break free from your cell, would you use every ounce of strength you have to grab it?

I know I would. In fact, I already did. I had to. Because ‘normal’ can mean something entirely different for you than it does for me. And that’s okay. No judgment. Neither you nor I can be certain which version is right… and why should we?

I only care that you’re happy. Are you happy?

Does it ever get too much? The pressure, the anxiety, the endless overthinking… It’s exhausting, I know. Unless you’re not an overthinker, and you’re just practical, right? Where is your practice taking you? Are you getting the results you’re craving? I truly hope you are.

Are you comfortable in your own skin? In your clothes? With your family? Does your home feel like home?

Don’t answer me. I’m not asking you to. It’s not about me. It’s about you. They say, “Be careful what you think, because thoughts are the seeds of action.” So, what are you thinking? I wonder… But don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret safe if you keep mine.

Come closer… Sign up for my newsletter and let’s walk this journey together. I’ll share more of my world, my thoughts, and a few secrets along the way.

I know, I would. As a matter of fact, I did. I had to. You see, ‘normal’ can be something totally different for you than what it is to me. And that’s okay. No judgment. Neither you or I can be sure which one is right.. and why should we?

I only care if you’re happy.. Are you happy? Does it get too much sometimes? I know it does. The pressure consumes you, anxiety is a serious enemy. Your overthinking must be killing you. Unless you’re not an overthinker and you’re just practical… right? Where does your practice keep getting you? Do you get the results you’re craving? I hope you do.

Are you comfortable enough in your skin? In your clothes? In your family? Does your house feel like home? Don’t answer to me. I don’t need to hear it. You do. They say, be careful of what you’re thinking because it is that one step before action. What are you thinking.. I wonder. No worries.

I will keep this secret of yours if you keep mine… come closer…
