His writing on Greek arms, Orthodox ecclesiastical heraldry, and dynastic orders has appeared through the Center for Research of Orthodox Monarchism and on his blog, IDTG. The blog was discussed in a 2009 survey in The Coat of Arms. His articles have also been cited in Emblemata and David F. Phillips’s The Double Eagle (2014).
His work documenting the art of his uncle, Constantine Andreou (1917–2007), dates back to 1999, when he contributed as a translator to Pierre Cabanne’s trilingual monograph Andreou: Sculpture — Bas-reliefs en couleurs. He is now co-founder and editor of the Constantine Andreou Archive, an independent family initiative devoted to the artist’s life and work. Its growing collection includes an illustrated artwork catalog, biographical research, exhibition histories, and bibliographic and archival material.
