S Dragon ASCII: In My Swedish Theme
View on DeviantArt | Product Page
The central S-shape of this image is my signature stylization of the “S-dragon” concept. More than a logo, it has served as my personal “genius seal” across various creative works for many years. It is drawn to be a visual pastiche, but also embodies my unique creative identity.
Born in the flicker of a Unix terminal in 1990, the S‑Dragon ASCII first unfurled its crown of `\^/`—a humble triad of slashes and carets, a skeletal crest of beginnings. It was raw, embryonic, a whisper of a dragon yet to breathe fire.
By the late 1990s, during the crucible of my Diogenic studies in Malmö—where poetry, performance, and provocation collided—I adorned the creature with the marks of law and lore: `©` and `®`. Symbols of ownership and recognition, they became scales of legitimacy on its body, transforming the dragon from sketch into sigil. This Swedish local connection is also the reason I am presenting it in gold and blue here, to make it a part of my Swedish theme. The sun around the symbol is a further allusion to my middle name Diellor (Solar).
The S‑Dragon is both a production symbol and an honest confession: a reminder that genius begins as an embryo, fragile yet potent. It was my way of bowing to Diogenes, acknowledging that my spark was but a flicker compared to his blaze. Yet over decades, that flicker has grown into something darker, stranger, and beautiful—an enchantment forged in raw material, carried across art, music, and stage. It is much darker than I wanted back in the 1990s, but sublime brilliance can be found in the magic of darkness and death as well.
My S-Dragon ASCII is also a magical artifact, a personal glyph of power, meant to be wielded only by me. A dragon of symbols, a dragon of story, a dragon of shadowed light.
