Blue and perky

I wanted to be a concept artist at one point, Until I discovered that concept artists spend so much time drawing that they never actually get the chance to meet a real mermaid hooper.
 I hope all you real mermaids out there are staying cool this summer.  

Oakland Love

I have always known Oakland to be a city of unrest. More recently, the people of Oakland have stood up not only for themselves, but also people around our country who are being sentenced with injustice. I cannot claim to be a victim of the same oppression that Oakland faces everyday. But I do not feel right making any further art without pointing out how strong Oakland is. Their history, Their progression, culture, art, and honor.

When San Francisco wouldn't give me the time of day, Oakland welcomed me with open arms. Oakland showed me that the most romantic experiences in life are free, riches can be taken away and your people are forever. Thank you Oakland, your outward growth inspires the world.

H&R&GIGER&DRUM&BASS

In the pursuit of aesthetic perfection, my next series will delve into the design mastery of H.R Giger and Drum&Bass. Both of which are new interests of mine, as of 2016. Maybe I'll create masterpieces to be cherished through out the pantheon of human history, or maybe I'll just look like a poser. You decide.

And a happy 420! 

Merry Bicycle Day! I hope you all have been trippy so that Father LSD Clause leaves gifts of glee on your couch!
Today we celebrate Albert Hoffman's discovery of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD)
Regardless of public opinion on psychedelics, we cannot refute the fact that acid has, and still persists to embed inspiration into humanities creativity and cultural movements. 
I personally owe much of my career and prosperity to this unstable substance. I see color so vividly, I see patterns and depth within all matter, and I've gained a courageous appreciation for life's uncontrollable chaos.

To all my friends who may have prepared liquid love for today's fuckery, please stay safe, help eachother, and rememebr why Albert Hoffman called LSD his "Problem Child" 

Stay trippy, fam!   (listen to psytrance)
 

Fun Ganesha inspired WIP I'm creating to celebrate the union of two great music groups. Pink Mammoth and Desert Hearts. I feel this Patron of the arts will need a few more hours of work before I feel he's complete. But not before my friends, family, and I share what is to be an incredible weekend at Desert Hearts Spring Festival 2016! 
Looking forward to pushing pixels with one of my favorites crews!

Electric Worm Tattoo

If you pay to have my artwork permanently branded upon your body, everything on my site becomes free for you. Fair trade for a lifetime of advertisement wink emoticon 
I do hope that the tattoo serves as a positive symbol for years to come.
Thanks @Jake_C_Glass and tattooist, Kyle Cotterman for taking this piece to the next level! Looks amazing!

Last Day of a 20 Day Binge. love

The 20 Day Binge is a project I have wanted to do for years. The entire project has compromised my sanity, my finances, and my reputation. Though the pay off has been all worth while... 
More apparent than ever, I see psychedelics have changed my core being. I am more open, honest, empathetic, forgiving, and courageous.  
I am perpetually in awe at the beauty surrounding us on a daily basis.
I have let go of the of trying to reach originality.
I understand that every action is a reaction. We are all bouncing off one another, so it is better to support and share rather than scheme against perceived competition.
When facing a challenge, I am reminded that difficult is not the same as bad.
Above all else, I have found my definition for Love, a driving force that is so difficult to consistently define. 
For me, Love is not limited to sex and romance. Love is dedication to uplifting a person or idea to help them achieve their highest potential.
Thank you all for supporting me in reaching my goals. 
I leave heart and mind open and eager to return the favor.

Day 17 of a 20 Day Binge. Mescaline

Who knew a porch decoration could be so intense!?  

Day 16 of a 20 Day Binge. Amphetamine

Good people do drugs. Bad people take all the credit. 

Day 15 of a 20 Day Binge. MDMA

Above most chemicals which can be considered recreational drugs, I have the utmost respect for MDMA. Though I have not taken MDMA in close to 4 years and have no plans on experiemtning with the substance any time soon. I recognize the immense healing potential MDMA has. I have witnessed soldiers plagued with PTSD, burn away who they were and blaze into a new life, wide eyed and fearless. I have watched victims of abuse, come to realizations that they are an entire person and the trauma they have endured does not define who they are.

Personally, I have always been a shy, anxious, person, with self destructive tendancies. After several sessions of MDMA therapy, I can honestly state that MDMA has given me confidence to see the collaborative nature in most humans, and to love myself. I now see the value I place in the lives of my loved ones.

Day 13 of a 20 Day Binge. 25i-NBOMe

There are certain experiences I've had that I will never experience again. For instance the first few times you take acid or mushrooms (let us assume), you will see and hear hallucinations so vivid you can almost touch them. Then you become accustomed to the psychedelic high. You begin casually taking acid because its there, its easy, its just "whatever" no big deal. And then you realize all the awe and wonder of the psychedelic is gone. Its just another party favor. You may slow your roll for awhile, but you cant help but try taking that psychedelic again every so often because you hope that your mind will be blown once again, like it was. Whether your experience is psychedelic or not, This just means you need to apply what you've learned from your blissful moments into the real world. Move on.

25i-NBOMe is an exception. There has never been a time I have taken 25i and not had my mind fucking blown! I always know if I am to take 25i, I should hide my wallet, not look at facebook, make sure music is always playing no matter the cost, and make sure the entire house is clean or else you will witness; your roomate's half eaten burrito turn into an alien's nebulous scrotum, bleeding a river of melted rainbows. But since I took the necessary precautions, my mind blowing experience did not involve extra-terrestrial genitals. 

A couple recent mind blowing experiences I had were yesterday when I discovered, I love vector, and creating new art is like 25i in the sense that I know it will always leave me feeling intensely, mentally, joyful.  

If you'd like to support my creative addiction , you do so by  checking out this print I made alongside the 20 day Binge and think about what it would look like augmented upon your wall.
