The Abyss Glimpses Back

October 21st, 2025 — The alchemical fires burn brighter tonight. With the unveiling of this digital realm, Picture of a Ritualist, Jono Borden extends an invitation to all who dare to enter the space where his obsessions, creations, and obsidian dreams coalesce. Ritualistic Pictures, Inc. finds its sanctuary here, alongside the twisted verses of his poetry, the aching lyricism of his music, and the restless narratives of his novels. This is where the sacred and profane converge, where every fractured piece of his art pulls you into the uncanny depths of his world.

This website—like the works it represents—is not for the faint of heart. It is an invitation to explore the shadows, the chaos, and the churning undercurrents of the human spirit. A realm where his dark muses whisper their secrets to those brave enough to listen. It is also where the biopic Lightning in the Veins takes form—a provocative, incendiary journey through Lord Byron’s tortured fame and forbidden loves, told through the lens of Borden’s own obsessions. The film’s pulse, its intoxicating beats, will echo here, bleeding into the soul of the site.

This site has been summoned not as a mere collection of work, but as a manifestation of something deeper—a cryptic altar for the rituals of creation. It is the place where Borden’s rituals of art and business are laid bare, a space where art lives and dies in cycles. The magic is palpable, the atmosphere intoxicating, and the questions endless.

The underbelly of Borden’s craft is on full display. For those brave enough to look, it offers a glimpse into a world unlike any other. Here, nothing is sacred except the pursuit of truth—no matter how harrowing, no matter how raw.

The veil has been lifted. Welcome to the dark side of Jono Borden’s world.
