Hi Folks,While I haven't done much drawing or painting for over 20 years... I thought I'd share some of my old stuff. Thanx for looking.  There is no self to which I cling, for I am one with everything.

Are you going to post a link to your artwork, RisingSpirit?  I am paranoid of my brain. It thinks all the time, even when I'm asleep. My thoughts assail me. Murderous lechers they are. Thought is the assassin of thought. Like a man stabbing himself with one hand while the other hand tries to stop the blade. Like an explosion that destroys the detonator. I am paranoid of my brain. It makes me unsettled and ill at ease. Makes me chase my tail, freezes my eyes and shuts me down. Watches me. Eats my head. It destroys me.

HAHA!!- there isn't any!!- that's the whole point, isn't it,  RISING SPIRIT?? -There is no better art than ones own curiosity, or sense of "eh"??   "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

I'm very much looking forward to seeing some of your art work! Peace If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

I believe Rising Spirit has pointed to that "best image" wonderfully. Good one. "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool." Richard P. Feynman

A great artist also! "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

Thank you all for the kind remarks. They are mostly humanoid portraits because I wanted to convey the state of mind of the subjects. Only the 2nd, 4th and 6th piece were done under the direct influence of entheogens (LSD and p. cubensis). The yellow dragon, rainbow face with the open crown and the green Native American were painted while I could still maneuver a brush and was able to remain focused on the external world. The rest were done after sitting mediation or smoking ganja (or both). I do have a handful of doodles, drawings and paintings done before, during and after peaking on a variety of psychedelics, though. They are a little wilder... but of course! Shall I upload some more images??? There is no self to which I cling, for I am one with everything.

Love the set. 5, 8, and 13 particularly appeal to me!
I'd love to see some more of your work!

Those are nice! Is one of them Sri Babaji? If your religion, faith, devotion, or self proclaimed spirituality is not directly leading to an increase in kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for others then you have been misled.

I'd love to see some more of your work! #5 is a pencil drawing of the noble Sioux chief, Red Cloud. #8 is titled, "Rishi" and #13 is titled, "Old man Winter". I drew that one late in the evening, when it was approaching 35 degrees below zero. It was a colored pencil sketch and sadly... I applied additional ink around 3:00 AM, from a black Bic pen... and frankly, I almost thew it in the wood stove. You see, it is over-worked and the black ink killed the light touch the drawing possessed. who knows... maybe it is better this way??? Thanks for the kind reply. I will upload more artwork tonight. joedirt wrote:Those are nice! Is one of them Sri Babaji? Yes Brother, two of them are Sri Babaji Maharaj. The first is the green cartoon with reddish hair. This was during my Peter Max phase. The second Babaji is the blue one. Admittedly, the original was a #2 pencil sketch but through the magic of Photo Bucket, I changed the color to blue. After all, Krishna is blue... so I figured I'd give him a color boost. The drawing occurred shortly after dawn, following one of the most powerful entheogenic sessions of my lifetime (4 blotters of clean LSD-25). while I didn't quite capture an exact photographic likeness... it's pretty darn close to how he appeared to me that evening. My personal favorite are #4 and #5, which I call, "The Empty Mind" and Peyote Dreamer. I was actually painting these as I hit the peaks of an intense acid experience and a mushroom session (I know, why not mescaline?). Even though I was scintillating in the mushroom trance... Mescalito called me to paint this piece and I obeyed. Ironic huh? Of course, in the #4 watercolor, all of the blinding light washing the top of the crown away is lacking in the finished piece, as it was part of the vision I was having at the apex of the experience. It sums up my entire spiritual philosophy at a glance. When the mind is stopped and made still in the vast expanse of Oneness... the Clear Light of the Void is perceived as the only true reality. Amen to that!!! I will be uploading some of the more abstract "tripping" doodles I've done and a couple other favorite pieces of mine. Thank you all for your continued love and support, Guys. You folks are the best!!! There is no self to which I cling, for I am one with everything.

BTW, I've been itching to draw and paint some of the fantastic visions I have had under the potent spell of Salvia Divinorum. I will be doing so in the near future (if I can just remember enough of what I have seen, while sailing within the Salvinorin Seas).  There is no self to which I cling, for I am one with everything.
