I wonder if the artist is an example of a "10x programmer" in this particular niche, even just for the fact that only a small percentage of programmers has this

  Absolutely and without question. I’d argue he surpasses the normal meanings behind 10x, and is one of the super-rare people up in the stratosphere. Not because of the code itself (though his combination of math, code, and art skills are 10x on their own), but more because of his goals and it’s effects on other people. Inigo Quilez is one of the most famous demo scene programmers, one of the authors of ShaderToy, has one of the best sets of graphics programming articles on the net (https://iquilezles.org/articles/ https://iquilezles.org/articles/) and he has been focused on sharing ideas and getting other people to share ideas. His level of knowledge and code influence on other people, if you tried to measure it, which you can’t, but it would be more than thousands of times more productive than a single programmer.
